Philips TV led flashing. burnt 220pF cap
I have philips tv that stopped working. I took a look inside and found a
small ceramic 220pF 2KV capacitor had shorted and burnt. I replaced this and now the sewt responds to the remote out of standby. It starts for a couple of seconds then shuts down with rapid LED flashing. I removed the LOPT transistor and connected a 60w bulb across the C and E pins and powered it up again. The light lit for about 4 seconds then the set shut down again with rapid flashing LED on the front panel. Any ideas anyone? |

You'll have to find out what. The power supply tries to start but switches off due to either an internal fault or overload (short) on the secondary. In this particular case you'll first have to look at the part of the circuit where the replaced capacitor resides. BTW. You'll have to place the bulb in series with the mains, *not* in the place of the HOT. The trick is usefull when you have a tv that blows its fuse or when you replaced the HOT. petrus bitbyter |

I was only placing it there to see if it was the LOPT that was shutting it
down and to see if there was power reaching it. No fuses blow on this set. Thanks for the tips I will check that area "simon hanlon" wrote in message ... I have philips tv that stopped working.

It is the most "left" one (FET) on the cooling plate, as seen from behind. It is a IRF720, afterwards everything will be ok. Of course check the line transistor too ;-) (Next time it would be better to mention the type number or the chassis, please) Succes! |

Most people think that there particular TV is the only one that the
manufacture made therefore a Model Number and Chassis Number isn't needed. They don't understand that these manufactures make hundreds of different one. kip (Next time it would be better to mention the type number or the chassis, please) Succes! |

Bang on the money my man! It was actually a IRF620 that was fitted and I
will replace with the higher rated 720 as you mentioned. One on order I will let you know if all is well then! Thanks very much "Albé" wrote in message ... simon hanlon wrote in , on 16/07/2005, H.
