    Newbie needs help identifying bad cap and value

    Philips 42PFL7422D/37 LCD 42" TV. No display but I see a picture when I use a flashlight at an angle.

    I'm a newbie. This post led me to this forum:
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...2PFL7422D%2F37

    From searching this forum, I believe I narrowed it down to the inverter board. Please can someone tell me if the cap on the left in the picture looks bad and how do I determine it? Don't have a ESR meter but got a multimeter.(again, I got this from reading through some posts).
    Am I on the right track to fixing the problem?
    Also, what value is it if I were to go buy one at the store? I have some soldiering experience. Can't do chips but caps, resistors, transistors are no problem. Thanks so much for everyone's help.

    Those caps are definitely bad. Both are bloated and the one on the left is leaking.

    You are going to have to remove them and read the uF and voltage value because they are probably hidden by the white glue or on the underside.

    PS. Post pictures to this forum using the manage attachments as per (but not inline as they slow down loading of pages)

    Once you find the values, post them here and tell us where you live so we can suggest proper caps and a vendor in your area.

    If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

    We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

    Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

      There. Did it for you.

      The new forum format lets you upload from a URL, but not be linked to the remote site, so the picture becomes a part of badcaps.net.
