Hi Everyone
We own a Philips 42PF9631D/10 UK model and have been experiencing the red blinking lights problem when powering up . We are attempting to repair it ourselves but have never done or know anything about electronics etc. Newbies in other words hehe.
Unfortunately, we sent our TV off for repair 2 months ago with a plasma specialists, only to discover they were Rogue Traders. We managed to recently get our TV back but in a bad state.
We noticed this blinking light problem could be fixed here on your forum by replacing certain caps on the PSU board, so we opened the TV and examined the caps. No caps showed signs of bulging or leaking, but as shown in the pictures below, there were 2 caps that looked different to all the others (Coloured green and bent sideways) and has mess on the circuit board directly below the caps. Please see image below.
As we are not electricians, does the image of the 2 caps show that they have been leaking, or have the Rogue Traders tried to badly soldier new caps on using flux??? The mess could not be wiped away and no mess was found on the caps if that helps. The 2 caps shown are on position 2540 and 2541 and are 100uF50V 85C. Should these be 100uF25V as I found in earlier posts or is it correct for our TV?
We have no idea how to identify the correct caps to replace, to resolve the red blinking light problem, so using the picture attached, can anyone identify any more caps we need to replace?? I have tried searching through earlier posts, but all the pictures show different PSU boards making identification difficult.
If anyone requires more information from me to help resolve this problem, please ask and I will do my best to provide all you need.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. (Especially to the ones who reply.)
Thanks in advance.
