Replace 2 capacitors on the board right in the middle of the back of the screen, has 8 screws and 7 connectors. They are side by side. Both are the same value. 3,300 uf (microfarad), 10 volt. They are EASY to see.

The tops of the bad capacitors are bulged outward. The tops of every other capacitor on the board will be smooth and flat.

Then go to www. support. phillips. com and download the software upgrade for your model onto a flashdrive and plug it into your tv. Now cut the tv on and the software upgrade will take place automatically (It's best to select the "auto" part at phillips .com when you download the software).The tv will display "upgrade successful" and prompt you to remove the flashdrive and restart the tv.

I have repaired 3 so far. All required the same repair. All sets were 2 years old.


Note: replace the board for a new one will not warranty that the new board will not have the same defect after a while unless it has a revision update fixing the issue and to avoid this lemon.
