Philips 50PF9731D/37 50 in. Plasma TV Repair bad capacitor

http://techstoprepair.blogspot.com/
Here is a semi detailed video of a 50" Philips plasma tv repair model 50PF9731D/37. This was my first TV repair and i thought it would be helpful to show how easy it can be. I replaced 2 3300uf 10v 105c capacitors. From what i've read this is one of the most common repairs for LCD and Plasma due to power surge. Total cost of repair was about $10 in parts. Please feel free to ask any question in the comments section. Sorry about the audio in some spots, but i promise you didnt miss anything. Thanks!

That's awesome! I didn't know that Philips was offer a fix for this TV. $250 seems high considering parts are $4-$8 but at least they are offering something I guess. Glad the video was helpful and Thanks for posting.

my 50" philip plasma started having this problem some months ago... called philip and they told me that it would cost 105 pounds for call out and to check what was wrong before they would tell me how much it would cost.. google the problem and came across ur video. thank you so much it only cost my partner who is not good at DIY- 2.45 pounds to buy the capacitors and repair the tv..it's working very fine now,,,,thanks for the video

Your video is bad it keeps breaking your conversation hard to understand what you are saying

I got the same tv and same problem. Which capacitor I have to get

[candacemcauble06]

Great video, I repair computers too and had someone ask if i could look at their TV. So after doing some research came across your video and it just verfied what i thought could be wrong with it. Next is for me to attempt the fix :D Lets hope it is that easy for me.

my friend gave me a 46 inch plasma i think. its phillips, and when you plug it in the green light goes on indicating that we have power, but then a red light blinks 7 times. and so i opened it up and i noticed the capacitors were bulging like in your video. and so if i replace them would that be the only problem? and my friends said the tv was working like 3 weeks ago.

Great video, but I think the audio cuts out on your camera when you use the zoom function.
