    flx-3211b

    Ok so my uncle had an Element FLX-3211B. He told me that first the sound went out and than the screen went black at seperate times through out about a month. He just went and bought a new TV. I have a Vizio and had fixed it before with a similar problem, the screen went out on that one and I just replaced the back light power supply and it was fixed. So he told me if I can fix the TV its mine because he was just going to throw it out.

    When I turn it on the red light on the front comes on and when I hit power it turns green. So I have power. Just no sound or picture. When looking around inside it has two 10uf 450v capacitors. One is not completely flat on top its buldgy a little and the other might be ok or the slightest bit buldgy. Other than that everything else looks normal.

    If those are my TV symptoms, could that or even those capacitors be my problem? and if so where would be the best place to order them or even go buy them? and what would be the best brand to buy at a resonable price?

    I know its a lot of questions but figured you guys might be able to help.

    Thanks!

    Replacing the swollen/vented capacitors is good place to start. Please review this thread:

      Of course, if you dont want to register with any other sites just to buy caps, you can just order them on ebay if you have an acct there. You can search here for what type and type them in there.

      By the way, this board is common with these brands below:

      Polaroid
      Memorex
      Element

      If you do a search for these in the 32 size, you'd find more info than you need.

        Ok well one of my local electronic shops has 2 rubycon 10uf 450v and they seem to be what I need. I guess ill try them, I guess my next question is how do you know if you installed them the right direction? I have done this stuff before back in college in my computer science classes but it has been so long any pointers might help.

        Thanks!

          Pay attention to the black stripe on the capacitor when you remove it from the board. Most times the board will be marked with some kind of indication of where the black stripe should go. Put the new one in this same direction.
