Hello y'all. I appreciate ahead of time any help that is rendered. You guys are awesome!
I've got a 37" LCD Sceptre x37SV Komodo. It didn't originally want to power on. I pulled the Power board and saw 2 25V 630uf caps that were bulging. I replaced the caps and now the TV basically only powers the backlight and shows the "Sceptre" logo, then stays at a black screen. It doesn't show any inputs or further text. I have to unplug it to turn it off.
I heated up the Power board (carefully) with a heat gun for a couple of minutes. I started the TV right away and it powered on just fine. I had an inputted game system that showed up just fine. After about 4-5 minutes of being powered on, the display became distorted and froze.
So, what do you think? Bad caps, bad thermistors or something else? I would love your input. I'm so close!
