I have a Philips 55 55PFL5705D LCD TV that appears to be having power issues. It will come on and get white vertical lines after it has been on a while. Trying to figure which board to replace fisrt
I am not receiving any errors, just a locked tv with no access to it from the remote. I have to unplug it and wait awhile to get it to come back on. Sometimes there are red shadows around the people on the screen. I got this set last year from a person who said it went through a power surge, so I replaced the power and mother boards and it worked fine since. Now just trying to see which board I should try first.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.
