It is obviously a component that is failing. The answer is not simple, but
your set is serviceable.

The problem may be in the power supply or one of the scan amplifier
sections. The set is probably going in to protect.

Most of the time, these types of faults are from failed capacitors. It would
be more rare, but there may be other types of failures as well.

To troubleshoot a TV set, at the very minimum to do a reliable and safe job,
you would require to have a background in electronics, experience at TV
service, and the tools and service information to work on the set.

I would suggest to take the set to a service centre and have an estimate
done for the work. This way, the set can be properly and safely serviced.

I have a Philips 36" widescreen 36PW9525/79R that won't power up
properly. The sounds comes on, and it seems that it is just as the
tube is being powered up, it shuts down. (There is a white flash of
raster on the screen) Then the power LED just flashes red.

I opened it up, blew all the dust out, and got it to power up properly
once with picture and sound, but then as soon as everything was put
back together, it failed again.

I realise from reading various other posts that this could be any
number of things, but I have also seen how in at least on case, the
experts were ablt to predict what the fault was.

Can anyone help? I can't really afford another TV just at present ...
