This unit has a bad Eeprom at its best. The second problem, a bad led is causing the flashing you mentioned. These are the two things that can cause the flashing you speak of. I would say a bad LED, in this case. Repacing an LED or Eeprom is nearly impossible. All components are micro chip and stamped into place. Next option, is buy new. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV.

Length should not be a problem. You must count contacts to see if they are the same. I am authorized service center for Philips. Thanks for asking. Matt of Martins TV.

I have answered this before. It is not your television that has this problem. What you describe is a common occurrence for any and all TVs. The provider networks do not seem to have audio balances, that provide for virtual sound. We are talking about the paid services you get from Net Flex and the like. Satellite and Cable are usually consistent. There is only one manufacturer of TVs that provides a fairly good chance to defeat this. If you look at my earlier posts you will see my answers. A sound bar will not correct the problem. So…..be happy your TV is fine. Thanks for listening, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Yes, that can work. The real problem is that there are a few LED’s that are not coming on. By setting the picture mode to Movie or sometimes Game mode will correct the flashing. Picture is not totally bright, but you can enjoy your TV. Thank you for listening, Matt of Martin’s TV Repair.

the eeprom is my first thought. if you can remove the main board, (i call it the signal board, same thing) great. you will need skill to remove the eeprom. location is u3102. always try to be darn careful when you do this. you can damage the pc’s and then will be forced to pay for a new main board…$100.00. find someone with great skill to do this. then after you safely remove the eeprom………you can gamble $15.00 and purchase a new one. as a suggestion, it is smart to remove first(carefully), than order. if you order first……and then remove the eeprom unsafely…………you’re out $15.00 and will need a $100.00 for a new board. thanks for asking…….matt of martins tv repair.

Fixed some of these when they were still under warranty. The LED’s in your TV are not lighting. Manufacture would send a new panel (screen). Pull the main board and power supply from original TV and place into new panel. Regardless of what you might see (replacing the actual LED’s in the panel) on You Tube, this is not an easy repair. Consider a new TV. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Hmmm………. this is a LCD . Lcd would suggest an inverter board, or sometimes the power supply will include an inverter that will illuminate the screen. I would suggest you go to the power supply for a fix. Look for capacitor locations C201, C206, and C253. If these are bulged, replace these. Should be a simple fix. Find a electronic hobbyist to do this for you. Thank you for asking, Matt of Martin’s TV Repair.

If by now you have used this unit for two seasons, you will have to replace a muffler. Two cycle engines will produce more afterburn and will eventually clogged the muffler. Result, an engine that will not idle. In my case the fix was an easy one. I drilled a couple of holes in the muffler. It is not a warranted repair. But it did work for me. Thanks for asking. Matt of Martins TV Repair.

I would suggest that the main board is your problem. As this unit is very warm during use and cools when shut down.The solder will expand and contract. This will produce poor grounds on all the HDMI connections, HDMI M1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 and so on.One thing to try before you make a new board purchase try this. LVDS cables……….there should be two of these. Making for four connections. They are ribbon cables from power supply to main board. Carefully lift up the plastic connections, pull ribbon out and clean the connection with a clean pencil eraser. Ribbon and board connection, replace ribbon on each account. Thank you for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

I have repaired many of these under warranty. Unfortunately the problem was corrected with a new panel. The panel is as much as the TV it self. It is not a feasible repair. It may surprise you, as most of these models have or will come to an end, as in your case. Wish I could tell you different. Thank you for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Good Job! Very detailed, narratives good, and photos were excellent for a learning tool. Matt of Martins TV Repair.
