Philips 32PFS6402/12 black screen but audio works!
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
I own a 4 year old Philips 32PFS6402/12 where I suddenly don't see any image (black screen). I went back to the store and asked if it was still under warranty. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Since I am a little bit handy, I want to try to fix the television.
I searched up on the internet i.e Google and Youtube. I found the service manual (Chassis QM17.4E LA) and some handy Youtube on how to diagnose. So, I diagnosed the following:
-My television STANDBY light goes on.
-Philips Ambilights (lights to the side) goes ON when turning television on.
-I do hear audio coming out of the television.
-I did the "flashlight test", when I shined through the panel, I saw my menu such as "source" or "television channels".
-NO BACKLIGHT. I opened up the back of my television, plugged the power cable in the wall, I did not see any lights shining on the back of my television.
Does anyone know which television part is morelikely faulty and should be replaced to get it working?
Thanks in advance![br]

I own a 4 year old Philips 32PFS6402/12 where I suddenly don't see any image (black screen). I went back to the store and asked if it was still under warranty. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Since I am a little bit handy, I want to try to fix the television.
I searched up on the internet i.e Google and Youtube. I found the service manual (Chassis QM17.4E LA) and some handy Youtube on how to diagnose. So, I diagnosed the following:
-My television STANDBY light goes on.
-Philips Ambilights (lights to the side) goes ON when turning television on.
-I do hear audio coming out of the television.
-I did the "flashlight test", when I shined through the panel, I saw my menu such as "source" or "television channels".
-NO BACKLIGHT. I opened up the back of my television, plugged the power cable in the wall, I did not see any lights shining on the back of my television.
Does anyone know which television part is morelikely faulty and should be replaced to get it working?

Thanks in advance!
