Philips widescreen problem(s)

Hi ;)

Hope someone can maybe help me.
I have 2 dead Philips widescreens;

1 is 15 months old, marks on the label are as follows:

Model: 32 PW 6006/05
Chassis No: L01.1E AA
Product Number: OG 002220 010216

Symptoms: TV switches itself off from anywhere to 20 seconds to 10 minutes.
I've been "reliably informed", that this is a fault with the "Painter IC".

Current quotes to get this fixed by local TV Repair shops range from Ł150 ->
Ł230. Don't have a problem with this (grumble grumble), but is this is a
socketed component? Is it possible to replace it myself? I'm not bothered
about voiding any warranties as the set is out of 12 months warranty
(goddamn excellent timing :(( ). Also it has been totally unplugged from
the mains for 3 weeks so any charges held inside would hopefully dissipated.

Been told I should be able to source the Painter IC for about Ł48... but it
may need programming. Obviously I would like to purchase the chip and
replace it myself. If this isn't an option, have I been quoted realistic
prices for supply & fit of a new chip?


Also, the telly it replaced (yeah I know, what do I expect buying another
Philips :( ) is as follows:

Model: 28PW6332/05
Chassis Number: MD1.2E AA
Product Number: QG 029839 119267

Symptoms: Blue screen. No sound. Just a blue screen. Been out of action
(and switched off) for over a year

Been told this needs a new tube at a cost of about Ł250.

Any help / advice (as long as it isnt "Don't buy a Philips, they're
shite"... had sooooo much of that from SWMBO it isn' true) much appreciated.

That was obvious because you indicated the prices in Ł :)
Also, we can read it from your headers.

About your first set; are you certain that the G2 voltage is correct?
Otherwise you could try to reduce a littlebit but note the original
position of the precet.(one of the two on the back of the HOT.screen
marked, the other is focus)
About replacing ic's...it is not so easy and you will need special
soldering apparatus :-( indeed, I think that the ic you mention is
soldered.

About the second set, a question; you know that a Philips tv of this
model shows a "blue screen" like the MS blue screen of death :D when
the set does not receive a station or signal from a scart or play
station. This is called "blue muting" and is normal.
Wy I tell this? Because you have no sound...and I can not imagine that
the tube is bad with a no sound diagnose. Usully in that case the sound
is ok.

Try to feed a signal via the scart plug. Picture?
We have a lot of bad tubes in those sets, but for this one you should
check more.

Regards,

Alain

In which case the sale of goods act applies.
Try Trading Standards or CAB for
information and whether it applies in your case.
In theory, you should be able to claim for repairs ,(from the retailer)
since the device could be reasonably expected to last longer than 15
months. Whether it's worth the hassle is another matter...
