In article , says... I'm working on a Philips 60P8342 (P916 chassis) that shuts down about 3 to 5 seconds after turn on. Do you get a blinking power LED? If so, it will blink the error code. Most common I have seen is error 2, which is supposed to be vertical sweep failure, but usually the problem is not in the vertical sweep, but in the circuits that detect the presence of sweep. If I am thinking of the right chassis, I have only seen one with an actual large signal failure, and the rest have all been flaky SSB boards. This is the little board in the SIMM socket near the right side of the set. In the case of the alleged error 2, it has been a shorted input pin on the microprocessor, the pin that receives the vertical pulse. These little boards, which are the brains of the set, seem to be chronic failure items. Of course there are some SMD resistors, capacitors, and a transistor that "condition" the signal before feeding it to the SSB, but the signal path seems to always be okay. And of course, the SSB is hard to get at and diagnose. IIRC, there is a PC software and interface package available to diagnose these new chassis. Like anyone can afford such a thing in this day of disposable TV's. Maybe the factory has one. Good luck! That sounds like the chassis I'm working on. I will check on the error code next time I work on it. Thanks for the tip. Andy Cuffe |
