    What to do if my Philips Flat Panel TV has no picture or sound?

      Andrea HigginsAug 25, 2025
      If your Philips Flat Panel TV has no picture or sound, ensure that your HDMI cable is certified. You can also try pressing the SOURCE button on the remote to switch to another source and then back to the HDMI source. Resetting both the accessory device and the TV might also help. Ensure the TV and the accessory device are turned on and the HDMI channel is selected. As an alternative, while both devices are powered on, unplug and reinsert the HDMI cable.
