    Re: mag 2200w lcd wont power on

    no he just looked at it and show it to another person and they both said i dont need the caps they are fine. the other guy from the tv store said the same thing about the caps. I think I should just get a mulitmeter and test everything myself that way i know what is good and what is not. I just dont wanna remove the caps if they are infact good still. they look almost new
    ps: he tested the fuse and they where both fine.

      Well i am not knocking them but you cannot tell if a cap is any good or not just by looking they could be out of range in capacitence or out of range on ESR .
      You need an ESR meter to test them for ESR but they are expensive unless you do it for a living .
      With the heat you have had around the board they may well have dried out
      which again will cause them to fail.

      If you read through a few threads there are a lot of guys on here who have been doing it longer and have much more experience than i do who will tell you the same thing maybe one of them will look in and comment as i may have missed something .
      In my opinion for the sake of very little money that it will cost for new caps i would replace them anyway as they have been on the board from day one and are probably no good anymore .

      When caps fail they cause the voltages to go astray and hence cause problems like burning out other parts ie the mosfets .

      Sorry dont want to sound like i am giving you a lecture just trying to steer you the right way

        no no don't be sorry, I don't mind, its all learning to me.
        I will go get the caps too and just replace em all so it eliminate the possibly of them being bad. i guess i should get a new solder iron and kit as well.
        thx

        I will updated you after i get the parts and give it a go. I have to wait until monday to order them from the parts store and wont get them until friday most likely

            Looking at caps without testing them and saying they are fine is like looking at a 9V battery that has been USED in a smoke detector for a 2 years and saying the 9V battery is fine for another 2 years.

                http://www.leeselectronic.com/ will that one for $18 do it?

                        If you can wait, Canadian Tire has this multimeter Product #52-0052-2

                        http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

                        normally for 70% off (or $18 CDN on sale). They frequently have 70% off sales every 3 to 4 weeks.

                        I have used its earlier incarnation and it is decent for $20.

                        If more USA ebay sellers shipped multimeters to Canada, there is a lot of selection for good quality used multimeters (like Fluke, Amprobe, GreenLee, Meterman, UEI, Ideal) for $20.

                        I managed to find 2 Fluke multimeters locally (kijiji, craigslist) for $20 and $30.

                        In the end, it is your call. The Uni-T will work fine for basic measurements.

                            Ok. Hmm maybe what I will do is get the cheap one now and get the other one once it goes on sale. Its good to know Canadian tire would have been the last place I would have looked

                              Also Princess Auto has some cheap ones.
                              I use a cheap Princess Auto $12.00 powerfist special for general use at work (checking P.S. and wall wart output, continuity checks etc) and it does all I need.

                                ok guys I got the mosfet in and while i was de-soldering them the first one came off without really any problem. the second one both leads broke off while i was attempting to use twizer and de-solder them. after placing them in and hooking everything up its still does that but now the picture come on for a second then off. I guess the next thing is to change the caps. I will need to see if i can find any cause the stores i went to had some but they are way to big. anyways i will keep posted!

                                  Before replacing caps, I suggest you perform retiredcaps test on post #26 before you go any further.

                                        i found that transformers but i think I might just get the board instead. and maybe just use the old board for parts and to tinker with?
