Philips LCD TV 42PF7421D - Chassis NO: EL1.1U AA


Philips 42 LCD TV 42PF7421D


I have this flat panel TV and I just had to play around in the "service menu".

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW !!!!


Well, this beautiful flat panel is now a BRICK.


No picture, but sound!


So, trying to get into the "DEALER SERVICE-MODE" (service menu code 062596 + info) to try and make corrections is useless because of no picture.


I can get into the "SERVICE DEFAULT MODE", (service menu code 062596 + menu) and get a picture, but it is useless because no permanent adjustments can be made.


I have taken the back cover off in hopes that I could do something.


Is there anyway to do a "Just out of the factory" or "Dealer" reset with no screen?


I have spent days trying to find a solution, repair manual, etc.


Because I am a DIY electronic/computer GEEK, I am hoping I can resolve this terrible mistake I have made.


Thank you for any help you can provide

Did you have any luck figuring out what the problem was? I have the same TV and the USB port does not work. I am also trying to find a way to fix my problem. If you have any idea, please help. Thanks.
