I just got a brand new Philips 47 Inch Flat screen LCD TV, Model number 47PFL3603D/27. The tV shuts off randomly, and it is getting worse. 10 times watching a movie, and you have to unplug it for 10 minutes until it starts up again.















The Red light comes on, solid once, then blinks twice, pause, solid red light, then blinks twice, pause, solid red light then blinks twice and so on.















In addition to the above issue, sometimes the TV will act like its going to turn off. It will flicker (about 5 clicking noises and screen going in and out).































Please let me know what exactly has to be replace and whats wrong with it. Could it be the Capacitors (particularly C8059 and C8060? or is it the fuse or something else ? Also, if I keep trying to use it like this what will happen eventually to the tv? will it completely not power on after time or severely damage the tv?































Ps Taking it back is not an option. and I have looked on Philips support website and it says nothing on this topic.































Thanks Hope you can help me















Thanks for your Reply Shylo. The Tv is brand new, I bought it a few days ago. The date on the back of the tv, It was made October of 2008. So it definitely shouldn't be doing this at such an early time. I'm thinking it might be a bigger problem.

I am not a TV Tech but I do own a TV similar to what you have described here. When was the last time you replaced the bulb? The bulbs typically only last about a year. Mine was doing the same things you are describing here in the couple of months prior to the bulb going out altogether. If you are not to this point yet I would recommend replacing the bulb now as sometimes they can be hard to get your hands on.
