Philips TV: Standby LED on, TV off
Normal standby. Philips says the front standby LED stays on whenever the TV is connected to the power socket, to show the TV is ready to be switched on from the remote. It cannot be switched off.
Applies to: All Philips TVs; the article does not cover TVs sold in the USA, Canada or Mexico. What you see: colour not named by the maker, on steady.
What Philips says to do
Philips’s page gives no step for this state: it is what the TV normally does, or the meaning above is all it says.
No repair advice of our own. The steps above are only Philips’s, as its page states them; semiatic gives no repair instructions of its own. Nothing here asks you to go inside the TV: anything beyond Philips’s own steps is a job for Philips TV Customer Support.
