Philips 42PF7320A/37 blinking red light

I have a Philips 42" Plasma TV (model# 42PF7320A/37) It will power on then click and then I get 7 blinking red LEDs. I have taken the back off because I read that one of the capacitors on the power board might be bad. Unfortunately all the capacitors look good. Can any one give me something else to try?

Hello, amigo if the all the caps are godd then you have to replace the power supply board. don't try to fix it this is not an easy task. you are looking at almost $200.00 with tax an shipping. just go to google and type your tv model # and ask for the power supply board or just look for the part# on the board itself. good luck

    This was absolutely helpful! I love sites like this that help people with advice, its great for everyone involved. Although I had seen this answer in different terms on another site already it helps confirm what I already read and makes me feel more confident about the diagnosis. I am a female so when something like this tears up and I have to take it into a repair place I feel better knowing what is going on because some people are not honest and try to rip people off especially when it comes to a female who they assume knows nothing about electronics. I sincerly appreciate everyone on this site who tries to help people. I am taking my power supply board out and in for repair in the morning the man I spoke with says if it is only the capasitors (two of them are bulging out) then he would repair it for $20.00 I think that is a fair price for the capasitors (2) and for soderin them back on. Cross my fingers thats all the problem is. Again thanks so much for sharing your information I appreciate you taking your time to answer a question to help somoene else out it will come back to you when you need it the most. God Bless

Tv will not come on. Red light blinking on bottom left front. Red light blinks 7 times

I have the model Philips 37PF7320A/37 won't turn on and MOST articles on the Internet say it's the Capacitors capictors capictors..I checked all of them. My tv just blinked red lights, had the clicking sound at first power on, but then goes black. No sound. No picture. Nothing. Just blinking red lights.

MINE WAS RESISTOR no. 3318 , a 100 OHM RESISTOR ON POWER SUPPLY BOARD.

I BOUGHT REPLACEMENT FOR .99 CENTS SOLDER IT, AND EVERYTHING WORKED!!!

THAT WAS ALL IT TOOK.

JUST A SUGGESTION..
1. CHECK FOR BULGING CAPACITORS (90 PERCENT OF THE PROBLEM)
2. THEN CHECK FOR RESISTORS WITH MULTIMETER ( FALLS INTO THE OTHER 10 PERCENT OF THE PROBLEM.)

TELL ME IF THAT [email protected]

No power to my Phillips 42 inch Plasma 42pf7321d/37, just a red blinking light

Most likely it going to be a power supply related problem. The red blinking light is a code for a TV tech to diagnose the problem on the power supply board itself or the board that regulates the power for the screen. Some manufactures call it a Backlight Inverter Board. A TV repair shop should be able to look at it for you and tell you which board is bad.
Replacement boards can be found at a good price at Shopjimmy.com

FLASHING POWER RED BUTTON 7 TIMES

I believe that is a bad power supply board. You can unplug set ,open the back access panel and look for swollen electrolytic capacitors they will most likely be slightly rounded on top instead of flat top like the others.Not sure if just replacing caps is enough we mainly swap out whole board.Some models' replacement power supply is slightly different from original in that a couple of the plugs are in different spots and require an extension cable.

Philips 42PF7320A blinks 3 times every time i hit the power button

The SSB is small self contained board that u connect your Antenna, and HDMI to. An error three is a communication error between the SSB and to Logic board ( located underneath the SSB on the back fo the plasma panel that is just below the power supply. U can check parts.com and see if u want to purchase a SSB for this TV. Is the 3blinking lights coming from the front of the TV. Also check the power supply and see how many times the green led blinks on the upper left of the power supply and let me know.
