philips 40pft4509/12 dead
Davy:
Yep, I know how you feel..... I've been had like that - and so as as other folks, the owners I mean.
"Mi telly's not workin, can ya come un ava look pleese"..... sure you get there and find the plugs been removed by 'er who must be obeyed' for hovering purposes, just as I was getting the last screw out the back..... Oh oh, what's this I've found! Now if they'd painted the darn button red it'd stand out like a sore thumb - right where you wouldn't expect to see a switch.

Philips have always done things their way, and having worked for a rental company tied to them, you should always expect the unexpected.
Can be an earner though, as had several Philips CRT combo in where folks didn't realise the on/off switch was on the side even after they'd turned it off there - Chris.

I think it got me because there were no other customer controls on the set.Won't forget that one again.The tact switch was literally right in the bottom corner,very poorly marked.

Right on.... and they never change. So you'll know about the G6 and the PD500 voltage stabilizer then. My worst nightmare with Philips is their auto change record player decks..... one telly can't remember the chassis wires use to fall off every time I looked at them.

I think I was lucky,I fixed a few g8 &9's but mostly kt3 & k30/5 which I didn't mind.I remember some years back now being confronted with a 36" wide screen set,sat on a massive glass stand with legs.
After spending a huge amount of time looking fiddling,came to the conclusion it was all one piece,not stand plus tv.When the custy came home he confirmed that when un-boxed in house it was all in one.
So had to spend ages fixing it in the house.Made lots of money out of the famous "Charlie" vhs decks,rebuilding them,engineers use to bring them to me by the van load,tubes of white grease & lots of patience.Lol.I wonder if I could remember how to do one now,or Panasonic G mechs another big earner.
