Hello,
I vaguely remember reading something about this, but my search has proven fruitless. I updated the firmware the TV last Friday, all seemed well.
On Tuesday morning this week, my other half told me that the TV wouldn't switch on. I unplugged it for a minute, turned it on and it was fine until I switched it off, before I left for work. On returning from work, I found the same thing, it wouldn't switch on. It's been the same every day.
I've tried disconnecting everything, unplugging it for a while, turning it back on. Still the same.
I contacted Philips support yesterday and they told me to do the One Button Recovery (OBR), where you unplug the tv, hold the joystick towards you power on, and it does a reset and installs the previous firmware. After all that, I set up all the apps, went back through the picture calibration settings and everything seemed fine.
Turned off the TV, went to bed, got up, you guessed it - the TV won't turn on.
I'm starting to think that this is a hardware issue, but was just wondering if anyone else has any experience of this.
My set up comprises of an Apple TV, PS5 and a Sonos beam with which we use Alexa for turning on and off. All plugged into the HDMI ports. I also have a USB HDD, which I'm testing in a different USB port because I have heard the occasional ping from it. I may just be paranoid though.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
