Hi, not sure if you can help me. I have a phillips widescreen tv, the
model number is 32PW9618/05. I sent it to a repair shop last year. They
said it couldn't be fixed and arranged to deliver it back to me. This
was over a year ago. When I recently called them to say I wanted my TV
back repaired or not, they said it was mended. They originally said
every time they repaired it the same thing happend. Anyway the problem
is this. I plug it in, and the red light comes on, I press a channel
key and it starts up, then before the picture comes up, it switches off
and the blue standby light flashes. How do I get it repaired or can I
do it myself, I have a fair bit of electronic knowledge as I used to
work for a company making testing equipment.

Not sure I got it. They said the 'mended' it? Did they 'unmend' it and
give it back to you?
I tried to find that model in the Phillips Force program but it didn't
come up. Can you look at the back tag and give a 'chassis model number'
? There are certain versions that have horizontal drive problems that
can be resolved with upgraded parts. Also, if it uses an LG/Phillips
crt, they're known for having G2 or second grid shorts that will cause
that same symptom. Either way, they're 'mendable' and these guys
shouldn't have had for a year. Post the chassis number and I'll see if
I have anything on it.
