                Hi, my 372 flat screen tv frightened the life out of me about 6 years ago. I was sitting quietly in my lounge, when the tv let out a series of LOUD cracks, something like a Chinese firecracker sound. After that, sometimes it would be ok, sometimes no sound or no picture. Even with the volume muted, the cracking sound could still appear.

                Anyway, a bit of googling and a few Youtube videos later and I decided to open up my first tv/monitor. I couldn't see anything obvious, and all the capacitors looked ok (I was hoping to see some bulged/leaking caps). After a closer inspection, I saw one cap that looked very (and I mean very) slightly raised. A trip to Maplins, a borrowed soldering iron and 59p later, I replaced the capacitor and pressed the 'on' button of the tv. To my surprise (and my wife's bigger surprise), we now had a fully functioning tv and she had her dining table back!

                Well that was 6 or so years ago and the tv is still going strong and is one of the highlights of my DIY 'career'.

                I'm hoping to get some advice on fixing my Dell 2408WFP when I can post a thread. Until then, thanks for reading.

                                Hello all. I retired a couple years ago from 42 years with BNSF Railway as a Signal ET. Worked on really weird proprietary stuff that tested the limits of electrical engineering. Our motto was "It only works on paper, but we make it work anyway." The foundation of train signals is, we shove a mix of Low Frequencies (mostly below 1khz "audio" tones) and coded audio chirps (below 3khz) a couple miles down the rails and into trackside signal boxes. If you hook a speaker to the two rails you can actually hear all this stuff going on. The train wheel/axle set causes a dead short and shunts the two rails together, so 'no tones' means it's occupied and that is how the system "knows" there is a train present in that section. The adjoining sections relay this -Occupied or Not status ahead- in the 'coded chirps' back and forth on to the next signal box and so on. Anyway, after retiring I started tinkering with these flat screens to stay sharp and busy, and that has brought me here. The hardest part is finding schematics and parts lists for some of these things, all part of the fun I guess. Thanks to you guys I'm getting caught back up in 'real world' electronics.
