You left out a letter in the model no which is, I suspect, "W" as in "32DW6557".
It shows quite clearly on page 11 of the user manual how to deactivate the timer...it is under the "TV Menu", "TV Features", "Timer Function".
If you do not have the user manual you can download it from http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/d...ct_selector.pl

The sleeptimer button is the 5th row up from the bottom on the remote, 2nd button on RHS, you can key in from 0-240 mins.
Select 0 mins.

"Sleep Off" will be "0".
Are there any other weird symptoms, does it sometimes switch to "Ext" by itself?
or lockup? anything else?
Your model uses the Philips A10E chassis and has the infamous "Painter" IC which causes various faults but usually there is more than 1 symptom when it goes faulty.

So are you saying the sleep timer problems only started after you were in the service menu?
