I have a Philips 27PT543S37A and it turns on for a few seconds but then the audio and picture go out but the power LED stays on. If you then press channel up or down the picture and audio comes back for a few seconds. I have looked for the service manual on servicemanuals.net but they do not carry it. can you please help

I have this same TV with the SAME problem. It isn't even 3 years old yet...I've got an OLD Sanyo 25" that's still kicking 10Yrs later. I sure would like some advice on this problem as I'm game to replace it unless it's a cheap fix. I've repaired numerous PC's including soldering etc the PCBs so I can fix it myself if i knew what was wrong. Local repair guy doesn't seem to have my time of day...not even a free estimate.

I have the same problem with the 27pt543s37a. There was a problem with counterfeit electrolyte in aluminum electrolytics a couple years ago; cost Dell $300M (go look at last year's 10K report). Could possibly be the root cause of all these cheap Philips TeeVees going dead.
