Hi all:

I turned on my TV, heard a loud "pop!", then the TV went into standby mode.
If I attempt to turn it on, it goes back into standby. I found a blown
capacitor inside the power board, replaced it, and the TV would come on for
about 10 seconds, then the capacitor would blow again. I replaced it twice,
and it keeps blowing out. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions,
experience? Apparently, a lot of people are having the same problem (blown
capacitor) with this TV. I'm hoping I can fix it myself; I just need someone
to help me figure out what the problem is. Thanks a lot!!!!


The problem is likely that several more capacitors are on their way out.
Other possibilities are that you did not ascertain the reason for the
failure of the cap; or that it took something else out when it went. If
you don't have an ESR meter, your only option is to replace all of the
caps in the vicinity and try it again (after checking everything else
you can for faults).

Conversely, someone else on the group might have specific information
which relates to your tv.
