The "R87" and "M87" series are very prone to having two caps on the PSU fail.

Sometimes after the re-cap you need to reset the EEPROM which is easy enough with a screwdriver (got to bridge two pins together while turning TV on.) £60 is a bit steep though.

I ended up getting this set for 40quidgot it home spent 1hr cleaning it inside & out & then i switched it onthe screen was smashed inside..gutted
Ive now learned to at least switch them on 1st before paying!!
The lad i bought it from is arguing saying i must have broke it & he only 16 so i cant kick his arse!
What are these sets going 4 with broken screens?..all backlights work & voltages measure good..thx
