Philips TV-No power-Help! (27PT64441/37)
|
Anonymous | No power at all, either by 'on/off' button or remote. I contacted Philips about this problem. They told me to hold the 'on/off' button and plug it in. But nothing came up. Then they just gave me a phone number of a nearby electronics. Since I would have to pay the labor, I wish I could have a little bit sense about the problem and the cost. Can somebody help me out? |

Anonymous | IF THE FUSE HAVE BLOW, UNPLUG THE DEGAUSSING COIL, REPLACE THE FUSE AND TEST THE TV WITHOUT THE DEGAUSSING COIL. IF THE SET RESTART YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE PTC |

george1122 Unregistered guest | I have a Philips 28 colour tv bought second hand (fool I know). Sometimes the channel locks (after 5 mins of tv) so I cant change it by remote or using the tv buttons. I then switch it of and when I switch it on again, I can hear the tv come on but there is no picture or sound and attempts to switch on or off the tv does not make the damn thing work. same thing happens when watching a film. Ill swith the Dvd/video off at the end of the film and the tv screen will go blank and nothing i can do can make normal tv come back on. |

Unregistered guest | My Philips TV (27PT832025) has great picture, but NO sound; the screen display seems to be stuck on "mono" (i.e., it won't go off) ... all the other controls and features appear to work fine, but I can't switch from mono to stereo mode, and nothing will reset the sound (speakers are on, all the other settings are as the manual specifies) ... ???! |

B_Sheids Unregistered guest | I have a 27" Philips "real flat " TV. The power button fuse blew, and the notation on it is some special code only they know. It's a T4E250V fuse. I'll officially NEVER buy anything Philips again, but for now I'm wondering if it's A) a fast or slow blow, and B) how many Amps/Volts is it? |
|
B_Sheids Unregistered guest | Since their tech support was bluntly unsympathetic to me, I decided to send this to Philips. You may all think I am psychotic, but hopefully it will help get somethings done. Oh, yeah. I wrote this while on hold... Hello Sir or Madam: I am an American consumer who purchased a 27" Philips "Real Flat" TV (model# 27PT6441/37). I've had it for about 18 months; just long enough for the warranty to run out, and the power button fuse to blow. I have tried contacting technical support, but they claim that they are not authorized to send me the fuse that blew. I have taken the fuse to a number of electronics shopes, but they are all unable to read the notation written on the fuse. I cannot replace it without knowing what type of fuse it is. It is literally a 10 penny item, and I refuse to pay for a TV repair man to fix it. The television is worth less than $300 (US dollars), and it could cost nearly that much to have it fixed by an authorized service department. I suspect this is precisely the reason the fuse is "in code" to begin with. However, for the money it would cost me to have it fixed, I would much rather go out and purchase a new TV of a different brand name. The fuse reads: T4E250V. I simply need to know A) if it is slow or fast blow fuse, and B) how many Amps/Volts it is. I would be impressed if you went ahead and sent me a new fuse, free of charge. However, if you cannot, I would settle for the information as requested. I understand that this may not be your department or your area of expertise, but so far Philips' telephone tech support has been a complete waste of time. Please be kind enough to forward this email wherever it needs to go, if you do not have the answers to my request. Furthermore, I understand Philips' liability in allowing consumers to open their TV sets and replace internal parts. I also understand that I have voided my warranty by removing the fuse myself. (Even though my warranty was pretty much expired anyway.) However, since this is clearly a simple blown fuse, I would like to think you will exercise common sense. Send me the fuse, and I will stop bugging you. Thank you so much. Ben Blumensheid. PS. I will be sending this email to as many officials as I can, including CEOs, other executives, and technical department people. I will be calling as many Philips related numbers as I can find. I will also be posting, on several electronics forums and chat rooms, this email as well as unbiased accounts of your responses to my inquiries. As yet, I have only negative, undesirable news to report about your company and its refusal to respond to my problem in a timely and courteous fashion. |

Anonymous | Our Philips TV 27PT6441/37 purchased 14 months ago will not turn on as of yesterday. We unplugged it, waited, then plugged it back in. No results. Called the Philips help line and was given the name of a service dept. near us. The Philips guy was totally unsympathetic. This TV is a real lemon. We should deluge Philips with complaints! |

Unregistered guest | Add my name to unhappy Philips TV 27PT6441/37 customer! 14 months ago I bought the FIRST of my 27pT...... Took it out of the box and nothing! No power. After MANY phone calls to Philips, I was told to take the brand new TV back to the store for a replacement. Here I am again, 14 months later and my 2nd 27pt.... will not turn on. Matters get worse since my son (who lives 100 miles away and our TV's were not bought thru the same chain store),bought the same model Philips and had the same trouble 1 month after warrenty expired. HELP! Has anyone thought about a class action case? Philips have a real obvious design flaw on this model! Within the last 14 months, my son and I spent over $1000 on 3 TV's that are now totally worthless. Word of mouth is the best advertiser AND THE BEST SALES BUSTER> |

Unregistered guest | I bought this tv on 2/6/05 and it died on 2/10/06 just a year old yet. I bought the extended warranty from Best Buy and called for service. The technician called to setup the appoitnment but instead of giving us a time he said he would have to order a computer board and that his TV is famous for the board going bad. We asked him even after a year he responded yes. I went into the local Best Buy store because I wanted to exchange the set. They said I only bought the warranty service and not a replacement option. I explained to the manager what the technician had said and he couldn't understand how the technician new it was the board without looking at it. I agreed with him and asked him if he could get someone out to look in case it was somethingelse. He did that I am supposed to have some one out on Tuesday (2/14/06). I found out from the following website http://www.coxesroost.net/journal/2004/12/11/television-repair that most of the time it is a $2.00 fuse that goes out. I am really surprised at the number of complaints this tv has had. I will be printing out the complaints and leaving it for the tech to see on Tuesday. I will keep you all posted. |

Unregistered guest | Hi my landlord jackhammered my kitchen floor and didnt cover any of my things including 3 x philips TVs, 2 x VCRs and 1 x playstation. There was an inch of dust covering all units, it took two weeks for any visible airbourne dust to disperse. Does anyone know if there is a chance of longterm damage due to corrosive cement dust. I am aout to take him to court. Or can you point me in right direction to get qualified advice in writing.. cheers |

A Wied Unregistered guest | Wow! I can't believe how many others have the same problem. I came looking for help with our Philips TV (27pt6441/37). It just stopped turning on yesterday, so I called for support and got the same thing as everyone else: NO HELP. We bought our TV in 12/04 so just over a year. Anyone finding out answers, please let the rest of us know!! PLEASE |
|
A Wied Unregistered guest | IT WORKED!!! I FIXED IT USING ASAAD'S ADVICE "I had the same problem with my TV just go to Radio Shack buy Item # 270-1067 and it should do the trick it is very simple to fix." Thank you so much. It cost $2.60 and took me 15 min. to replace. (If your looking for where in the TV it is, follow the power cord in and it's where the cord meets the board.) |

netlt Unregistered guest | Philips TV 27PT6442/37 12 months of use, then NO POWER. The Line Fuse (T4E250V) is definitely blown. I can change the fuse - but what else is wrong that caused it to blow? Class Action seems to be indicated! |

New member Username: ReyaziPost Number: 1 Registered: Feb-06 | for those guys who changed the fuse and had it to work some of you used the 5 AMP and some used 4 AMP do you think it makes a big difference i already tried replacing the original one with a new 4 Amp Fuse, still didn't Work !  so let me know if its worth the try for a 5 amp! |

|
New member Username: ChuckcPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | To: B_Shields- It is a 4 Amp/ 250Volt slow-blo 20mm fuse. The original fuse is listed as a safety component and should NOT be replaced by a higher value- like the 5Amp radio shack. When I was young, we had screw-in plug fuses instead of circuit breakers. When the 25 amp fuse blew, dad would put in a 30 amp- and if he didn't have one, he would use a penny in the fuse box. Same idea.... The correct repair for this set involves replacing the PTC [positive temperature coefficient] thermistor that limits the time the degaussing coil is on and of course replacing the fuse. A simple repair for a service shop. |

New member Username: Kirk_mGuyana Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | hi i'm a technician and i'm currently working on a philips 27PT64441/37flat television and i'm experiencing a problem where the relay clicks as though the tv is coming on but the flyback won't power up; however it's not the fuse that's causing it.i noticed a scorched horizontal driver transformer along with the regulator that works in conjunction with it. i replaced the horozontal driver transformer but i cannot replace the regulator since the severe scorch caused it to become un-identifiable. Can anyone identify this regulator? i can be contacted at kirk_dy_mic@yahoo.com thank you. |

New member Username: Philly24601Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | HI, Was doing a search to see what could be wrong with my Philips TV which would not turn on - figured I had nothing to lose but $2.29 from Radio Shack for a new fuse following the above threads. TA DA. Works great. Picked up the TV and laid it on it's front on a blanket on the dining room table. Only about 8 or 9 screws hold it on. My husband and I lifted the back off together and sure enough the fuse next to the power cord was blown. Simple R & R and just plugged it back in 5 minutes ago and everything back to normal. Don't be afraid to do this yourself - it's easy (but heavy, use 2 people!) |

I have tried unplugging it, using different outlets, etc. This is my first and last experience with a philips product. NEVER BUY THIS TV!! |

New member Username: EvalskyPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | I bought a 27 in Philips flat screen 13 months ago. Now it won't even turn on. I bought a fuse from Radioshack for $2.89, replaced the old one and now the TV works great. The guy from Radioshack said Philips is known to have TV's whos fuses blow in a year. I can't believe Philips is getting away this BS. |

New member Username: Mr_gPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | I have a Philips 27" Flat Tv model #27pt6441/37 and just this morning it wouldnt work. Thanks to you guys on here I fixed it this afternoon and it only took me about 10 mins. Those of you who are afraid to do it dont be. Goto radioshack and purchase a 4 pack of 4amp 250v slow blow 5mmx20mm fuses. Remove the 9 screws with a torx wrench and use some tweezers to pull out the old fuse(located next to the power cord on the board) and pop the new one in. Thats it. I will keep this tv for a little while then I will cut m losses as I believe this will happen again and again. |

New member Username: PorkchopStratford, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | I've got a Philips 27" Model # 27PT6441/37 as well for 18 months, I went out to The Source (formerly Radio Shack in Canada) and bought the new fuse, 10 mins later I'm watching TV again. The Source Part Number is 2701174 for any Canadians with the same problem. I was peaved off as much as the rest of you but I don't blame Philips, they've got good technology behind them, but I do blame the Mexico assembly plant. |

New member Username: MrvbsgbPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | I have the same problem with my 30PW9816. Had it for a year and boom... no picture. I found another site (http://www.coxesroost.net/journal/2004/12/11/television-repair) that told me to look for the fuse. I spent 20 minutes opening the tv and found the fuse next to the power cord right away. Radio Shack is closed right now... but I'll be trying the fix tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. BTW my fuse is a different size, it says 6.3H250V. If this works I'll have two HD tv's. I just bought a referb from www.electronicsalley.com and they where great. I figure buying referb you get the tv already fixed and at a much cheaper price. You can't beat Electronics Alley's prices. |

New member Username: Jim_bergersonPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-06 | Same thing here with the #27PT6441/37; tried to turn it on one morning and nothing... As I was doing some research on the net, prior to calling Philips, I came across this forum. Many thanks to all of you: got the new fuse (a special thanks to the Canadian that left the Source part #), popped it in and voila. I was particularly embarrased to read that so many people have had this problem. I was born and raised near the city of Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, where Philips originated. I always had great confindence in the company, which actually contributed to my choice of purchase. |

New member Username: Philly24601Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | It's really hard to say if our "fuse fix" will work for your TV, too. I know that in my case it worked on the 27" TV. The decision to try is up to you depending upon your situation. 1. It's under warranty and you won't want to touch it - contact support immediately. 2. It's out of warranty but you have the money to fix it - take it to an expert. or 3. (probably the most common) It's out of warranty and it will be a new junk table in the back room because you don't have the heart to throw it out nor the money to fix it. So, going on the assumption that you're like the rest of us (#3) you've got nothing to lose. Lay a blanket on the table, have someone help you lay it gently on it's front, remove all the screws and lift off the back. If within an inch or so of the power cord connecting to the circuit board you see a fuse, check to see if it's blown. If it is check to see if it's the same number we've mentioned before. If not take it into Radio Shack and see it they can match it up. That's about all this Mom can help with - unless you need something put back together with duct tape. Good Luck, Susan |

New member Username: ChuckcPost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | Sereena and Susan- the 62" set is a different animal from the 27" set that this thread talks about. If the 62" is a big screen (or projection) tv in a large (typically 5 foot or 1.75 meter) tall cabinet, there are 3 picture tubes in a projection set and they contain a cooling fluid because they get VERY HOT when in use. DO NOT LAY THIS TYPE OF SET ON ITS FACE. It was made upright, transported to your home upright and should ALWAYS stay upright to keep the cooling fluid from accidentally getting out. The cooling fluid is actually ethylene glycol (like the antifreeze coolant in your car) and glycerol. It is both conductive - can short out electrical components if it gets on them - and corrosive - can eat away the metals of the circuit boards. It is a very bad thing to let the fluid spill on a circuit board. BEWARE! |

New member Username: CrunchNebraska Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Jeez!!! after reading this I really regret buying my used philips two weeks ago. Mine is a 180MT which means 18 inch LCD TV/PC monitor with picture in picture. It was awsome for a week being able to watch tv in the upper corner while on the internet at the same time. Or just PC or just TV. Sure nuff fresh out of warranty. Last week all tv functions quit working while all PC monitor functions are fine. Shares same buttons just switch modes but does nothing in tv mode only static/snow, no volume or OSD. For short time had bad picture like coax came loose then lost tv. Philips help line says send it in for $69.00 estimate and max repair of $159.00 but at their discression to fix or refuse, then I'm out $69 plus 2way shipping. local philips shop says factory repair only. Cheapest new one on net is $700, I see no fuse like rest of you lucked out with. Does anyone know where I could get a new mainboard, as I know all LCD parts are good as PC mode works. |

New member Username: EricsfSan Francisco, CA Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Ahhh, the trials and tribulations of the Phillips 27 inch CRT piece o'shite... I purchased the earlier 27PT8419 model in 2002 which is practically the same as the newer 27PT6441 model mentioned here (strange how the later model number decreased...typical Phillips...) except I think it differs in that mine was supposed to have HDTV capabilities (you can find my detailed reviews of the 27PT8419 crap trap by searching Google for the model #) Well, the HDTV port never worked right and had colored lines around the 16x9 display then after about a year it started to get blurrier and blurrier until I couldn't read any text on the screen and the images were all ghosted. I finally had arepair guy come out and he opened the back and adjusted the 2 ficus controls inside the set (FYI, on my model, ther are 2 or 3 small holes in the gray covering on the lower mid-right hand side of the back below the CRT that have small screws set deep inside them. I believe the top 2 are the focus controls (one horitontal one vertical?)) and he just placed a screwdriver in side each and turned them while the TV was still on and the picture focused up perfectly. I asked him if he should be doing that while the TV was still on and plugged in and he said, "Oh sure, we're not working with the CRT." Which made me think he was an idiot, but it makes sense that the TV would have to be on to adjust the focus...) Anyway, now, 2 weeks later and $100 poorer, the TV suddenly cut out exactly the same way as everyone else's did on this forum. Man do I hate Phillips products. I'm going to try the Radio Shack fix mentioned above to see if I can avoid the costly house visit repair, but will be buying a SONY or Samsung LCD TV next and advise all to avoid Phillips TV products. |
