It is unlikely that a cap in a TV set will reach 105C and fail.

What temperature do hot melt glue sticks melt at?

Before I got an ESR meter I used to see how hot the electrolytics got while
it was running, the aluminium can isn't isolated so touching them can be
dangerous - the first line check was to see which ones could melt the end of
a glue stick.
