[Dusty696969]

How can you tell what one is bad if they all look ok?

[dbradley3]

@Dusty696969 - hi not sure what to say if they all look ok; would then need to make the decision to either take it in to repair shop or buy a new one. was just lucky being able to repair this one because the capacitor looked bad.

very helpful thanks. know my big plasma will probably do this after my warranty expires.

[MysteriousMayonaise]

Sounds like you saved yourself about $150.00. :P

[dbradley3]

@MysteriousMayonaise - yep; if they aren't visually bad - way prices are going might be cheaper to buy a new one than pay for repair

[ClubGuiatarHero]

Can you PLEASE watch my video of the tv please tell me whats wrong with it PLEASE!!!!

[dbradley3]

@ClubGuiatarHero - sorry, no idea...good luck

aside from the headache I got watching this jittery camera, the only thing worthwhile in this video was the link to badcaps.net. Next time dude, record in HD and have a cig before shooting so you're not so damb wobbly.

[dbradley3]

@montecore1024 - thank you for your candid, concise, insightful and meaningful feedback

how do u remove the back?

[dbradley3]

@JABBA0HUT - yep, it was tough to remove the back. i ended up using a putty knife

[flavious27]

My caps just failed me a day or so ago. What caps did you get to replace yours? On my board, it shows they are 1200uf at 35v.

[dbradley3]

@flavious27 - sorry i can't remember. i think the model is listed on the wrapper that is held up on the screen for a few seconds towards the end

[dbradley3]

@flavious27 sorry for late response, just realized comments turned off. i can't remember the replacement.  i believe in the video the wrapper had the capacitor rating

[flavious27]

@dbradley3 I replace the caps twice, then the board, still not working right. Just bought a new TV and will decide what to do with the old one later. Maybe see if there is a good sale on the main board to make it a computer monitor. It doesn't stay on, it lightly flickers and then turns off.

any way to get the radio shack part numbers, the RS by me has no clue what they are doing, said they can get the parts if i have a part number

[beachbummm69]

wow tyhe cover was a real pain in the ass to take off, i found 3 bad caps and am on the way to radio shack. the third is the last one on the right side of the board near the top..did you ever get your fixed?

[beachbummm69]

but how do i get the damn cover off...i have all the screws out that i can find, 8 of them

my power LED stays on all the time but the tv will not come on, wonder if its the same problem

[thewooleelawoo]
