Here's a page I use at work [CNN] to quickly analyze monitors and set them up without dragging out a colorimeter. LCD monitor test images It walks you through what to look for and what control to use. Simply connect your computer VGA output to the VGA input of the TV. You may want to go into your pc's display settings and enable a 2nd screen to allow you to be at the computer and mouse through the different test patterns.Have fun!

I had exactly the same problem When the TV was switched on all I could see was a flashing green light. After cheching the TV internals and not seeing a problem including the power supply unit which looked and checked normal. Here is what I did to get M TV working again.
Disconnect it from the power supply. Hold down all the buttons simultaneously i.e. the on/off, the volume, the programme, menu buttons, all of them simultaneously and Plug it into the power supply again.
Lo and behold My TV jumped back into life after an absence of about 4 weeks.
Try it yourself exactly as above.

Best of luck.

it sounds as thought the main-board of the TV is arching or shorting out. This is due to a faulty component in the power section of the TV . It is about to completely go out.
The main board need to be checked for bad components.

Are you connecting the tv to your source using the DVI, component (Red Green Blue + 2), or composite (Red, Yellow, White)?

Try switching the type of connection you are using. If you are connected via component, then switch to composite. If the problem persists even on composite connectors, then the issue lies with the TV. If the composite cable works fine, then the problem is most likely the cable you are using.

Press the sleep button, and make sure the sleep timer is set to OFF.

Unplugging the TV from the wall outlet resets the TV.

If you have a cable or satellite box connected to the TV, then try resetting the box also by turning off/unplugging from wall outlet.

Surge protectors can cause some occasional anomalies with LCD TV's (they're still a good idea) - just reset the TV to clear up these anomalies.

Hey,

ik'm glad that atleast you don't have troubles with the reso.
Anyways if you got the same TV, then just do this and it should work, i have sometimes lost a little side of the screen too, but this helped me:
Take your TV remote
PC Menu-->Factory Preset-->Reset-->Yes
OR same thing just not automatic
PC Menu-->Picture-->Horizontal/Vertical.

I hope it fixes it for you.

ok you have defective power supply! from the secondary power supply! or hot side.

most of the time the led in front of the tv will blink red and that will tell the technician wich circuit to look in. if it does blink at all when it shuts down then the problem is more than likely in the power supply. the part number for that is 313819875691

Remove the cover on the back of the tv. Look for swollen or leaking capacitors. They kinda look like batteries. If they are bulging or leaking then that is your problem. You will have to de-solder the old ones off. Then solder the new capacitors onto the circuit board. Capacitors will cost about 20 dollars and installing them isn't that hard to do. It will fix your tv 99% of the time. So it is worth a try!

I'm assuming that you have checked that the sound is not muted. To confirm that a reset to factory settings is the next procedure: Menu - Setup - General - Factory settings. If you don't see/hear any modifications then it's a hardware defect, not something with the settings.
This happens when the tv thinks that the headphones are used. Simple test to confirm that: plug in a pair of speakers and see if you get the sound on them. If you get and the situation doesn't changes when you unplug them then this is a mechanical defect: the small switch inside the headphone jack is faulty and keeps signaling that the headphones are plugged in when they are not.
The only way to fix that is to replace the jack, which involves a very delicate soldering procedure , one that only a good repairman can do - you must call one.

In order to pair your RMT-D197A remote to your Philips TV, follow these steps: 1. Power on the TV with the remote. 2. Press and hold the Setup button on the remote until the red LED light blinks twice. 3. Input the four-digit code that corresponds to your brand of TV on the remote. This should be found on the enclosed code list. 4. Release the Setup button. If the code is correct, the red LED light will blink twice. 5. Aim the remote at the TV and press the Volume Up button. If the TV responds, the remote is paired correctly.

The code you need to program your Philips TV using the Sony RMT-D197A is: 741

Just to be clear, we are FIXYA, we aren't Philips, we just have a category for handy filing. The software isn't available online, just drivers. You would have to contact Philips direct. https://www.google.com/search?q=Philips+lifeview+software ..

This sounds like a panel issue Sarah, if this is the case the set isn't repairable.
