A Hot Plasma TV Repair Tip for a Philips 32FD9954/17S



Here's a HOT little Plasma TV Repair Tip for a Philips 32FD9954/17S 32" plasma TV monitor. The set came in because it would power-up intermittently.

After placing it on the bench and removing the back cover, I plugged the power cord into the ac mains and pressed the MAIN power button on, at the bottom of the set.

Using the remote control (that is needed to actually turn on and control the set), I powered it up and the TV ran for a few minutes, then shut down. I then noticed that the power indicator L.E.D. was blinking steadily.

Now my next step was to UNPLUG the POWER CORD! Checking the various components on the power supply board, I did'nt really find anything out of the ordinary and set the TV aside to do other repairs.

A couple of days later my associate found a "Tech Tip" online, that recommended replacement of four capacitors on the power supply board.

I looked closely, and noticed that someone had "been there, done that". I then started to check components again, and using my DVM in "continuity" mode to check for shorts, I measured the ceramic safety fuse in the middle of the board...

I got a "beep" for about a half second then nothing! An Intermittent Fuse was causing this set to go into "protection", and shut down! (shown in the picture below).

The tip of the finger points to the 6.3 amp / 250 volt ceramic safety fuse. In my 20+ years of doing repairs, I've seen this happen maybe twice? I just replaced the fuse, and got another satisfied customer. The part number for the fuse in your (32FD995417S This is the model number to enter when you visit ) is, 483525397157.
