This could either be:

that the Philips Soundbar HTS8100/37 has kicked in auto-protect mode as its built-in diagnostics has sensed a fault and halted the system to prevent further damage; and/or

the power supply itself has faulted.


Almost always, this is a hardware fault requiring the Philips to be opened up to effect repairs. Options then are:

consider a DIY (do-it-yourself) repair if and only if comfortable working with electronic components & circuitry, use of a DVM/VOM, a soldering iron/station and safe practices with electrically powered devices. Access to a Service Manual or at the very least, a schematic diagram would be a necessity;

should you be uncomfortable with a DIY, perhaps your best bet would then be to consult with and/or seek the services of an authorized Service Center (specially if still under some form of extended warranty) or a qualified professional.
