I have a Philips TV that shows no signs of life when plugged in - no standby LED, no response to buttons, no noises, nothing. This model is well known for having bad caps, so I started by replacing a few of them (3x 35v 1500uf and 1x 2200uf 16v). I don't know the history of the TV but it looks like someone's been at it before because some of the solder joints looked really bad, so I re soldered them as well.
After swapping the caps I still got no signs of life so I started checking voltages, and found that the board is supplying 24v but not 12v. Here's what I measured on the connector to the main board:
Pin 1 +24v --------------- 24v
Pin 2 +24v --------------- 24v
Pin 3 +12v --------------- 490mv
Pin 4 +12v --------------- 490mv
Pin 5 Brightness Adj ----- 0v
Pin 6 Inverter ON/OFF --- 0v
Pin 7 GND ---------------- GND
Pin 8 GND ---------------- GND
Pin 9 GND ---------------- GND
Pin 10 Stand By ---------- 0v
Pin 11 GND --------------- GND
Any thoughts on why I have 24v but not 12v?
Also I was able to find the service manual for this TV here:
