I've had a Philips 60PP9601 TV for ten years. The HD input seems to have stopped working. I see no signal at all when I attach a blu-ray player or TivoHD to it, but I do see video from same devices if I attach them to the 480i input. Can I replace the HD input myself? Thanks, Greg

Which HD is not working?
I'm referring to the component inputs.
Would it make sense to look for a component-to-VGA adapter to use the TV's HD VGA input? Would that be the same resolution as Component?
Thanks,
Greg

Uhh... Have no idea if the simple Component to VGA cable will work. You can find those for

Here you go...Amazon has a liberal return policy...buy both, return one... http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-CPNT2VGAA-Component-Video-Converter/dp/B0014BL9PO/ref=sr_1_61?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1361151725&sr=1-61&keywords=component+vga+adapter http://www.amazon.com/VGA-RCA-Component-Cable-1-8m/dp/B000FM3EQ0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1361151838&sr=1-2&keywords=component+vga+adapter (there are numerous ones to choose from. If this works..great. If not, you need the StarTech)
