Hi , after changing many capacitors that were leaking on the power
supply board , cannot turn on the television.

Power LED is blinking.

Can these 2200uF capacitors damaged something else on the board ?


Just barely, and only over a fairly long time period (months). There
are many different types of electrolyte. Some are mild acids, but
most are water or alcohol based.

Just clean up the mess, replace the big caps (even if they haven't
blown up yet), and be done with it. If you have an ESR tester, it
might help identify which caps are the likely culprits.
