I was given this LG because the unit did not respond when you push the power button. I took it apart and found bulging caps. The caps that are bulging are marked as follows. SAMXON, 1000uF16v, 105degreeC6, W1A. I am trying to track down some replacements for the two bulgers and would prefer better quality replacements. The unit is, I was told, about a year old. This will be my first attempt at replacing caps but I am fairly handy at doing most things. I repaired a main board on my 27” RCA television when the repair shop wouldn't/couldn't and I fix up old computers as a hobby. I do stainglass work and have plenty of experience at soldering.
I realize there could be other issues but want to fix what is obviously bad as part of the process of elimination. If it does not work after caps are replaced, I'll still have gained some experience and had some fun.
I need better caps!!
