Hello, could use a little help. Anyone know what is causing the screen to look like this? Is this something fixable, and if so how much do you think it would cost? It is a Magnavox 42MF230A/37A plasma TV, heres a screenshot. when turn on the picture is not good
Open check all circuit boards none swollen capacitors
Thanks

Re: Magnavox 42MF230A/37

Can't tell for sure but it looks as though the two large capacitors on the top right of the power supply are bulging. They should be flat on top not bubbled. Those feed the primary voltages coming off of the psu to the X-main and Y-main so if they are bad then your voltages to those boards will be bad too. That will lead to a bad picture or eventually no picture. Replace those if they are bubbled and that should bring your voltages within spec and fix your problem.
