    Vizio SV420M bad caps? Please help.

    I have a Vizio SV420m LCD tv. Sometimes I get these white lines on the screen. Sometimes it will make the screen go black, but still have sound. And sometimes it works perfect. I've taken the back off and reattached the stand base, and check for loose components with a wood stick, but nothing changes while poking around the back while powered on. From my past experience, this usually means bad caps on power supply board. None look bulged, we all know this don't mean they're good. Most manufactures use cheap parts. Especially capacitors. Any advise, direction, or comments are welcomed and much appreciated. Thanks for your time .

    My friend have a similar problem with an LG TV , i found some water sneaking to the tv around the cable which comes from outside!! i'd probably change every cap on the power board and maybe resolder every joint but he wouldn't allow me to .. as he says "its on warranty" lol

      I replaced all caps on the power supply board. The tv only has the lines when I first turn it on. Last a few minutes then goes away. And works perfect all day. There's one cap on the input/signal board. So I'm gonna replace it.

        Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
        by momaka
        I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

        For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

        It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

        Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
        by eryjus
        Hello,

        First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

        I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

        I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
        ...

        Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
        by Paxman_Swede
        Hello!

        I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

        The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

        I have studied the board and...

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        Help with switching power supply caps
        by captain150
        I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
        I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
