A VERY hard to find repair/service manual from Phillips Electronics Corp. 

Dell produced some high-end 42" and 50" plasma televisions a few years back (2005-2006) that really turned out to be frustrating, $5,000.00 paper weights.

The Dell W4201 HD and he W5001C HD.

The most common problem being that after about a year of use, the TV would just go black. Power light on, sometimes sound but no picture.

2 bad capacitors on the power supply board was usually the problem and easily fixed for a few dollars.

Except no one would ever tell you exactly which caps were bad......


This is the service manual with detailed instructions for trouble shooting and diagnosing (and fixing) issues with these TV's.

It is listed as a Phillips product, while the Dell TV's were made with Samsung silk screened on the circuit boards. Phillips designed and manufactured these boards for Samsung...who manufactured them for Dell.

I am sure this will help some of you out there!
