Hey Everybody,
Problem:
Starting with the tv unpluged overnight, Plug it in in the morning and it will turn on and work as normal for a few moments, Then restarts, Works for a shorter amount of time, then just goes to a flashing green led.
I took the back off, and Instinctively checked for bad caps/components.
Found 1 suspect Diode with discolored leads from heat, Removed and tested, it was ok. (It was a Avalanche Diode)
The caps look perfect. All caps on the secondary side are marked with KY, I believe they are NIPPON CHEMI.
Even though they look fine I am going to replace them (6 in total)
Does anyone have experience with this brand of cap? is it a known bad company? is it normal for them to fail with no external clues?
