Frank:
Look for the burnt transformer.
No, this is not an ongoing problem with Philips and the symptom you reported can happen with any make and model.
Get your DMM out and start checking the circuitry for faulty components around whatever you think is burnt.
For more repair and troubleshooting information you can go to the website for this newsgroup at
http://www.repairfaq.org/
there is no easy and quick formula here... old fashioned troubleshooting and testing is needed.... and repair experience and electronics knowledge is essential.
