    Cad bad caps make vertical lines on the screen?

    Hi guys, long time no see. Hope you're all ok.

    Just bought a tv with vertical lines on it, i get no pic in the background so cannot change source or play with settings.

    The lines are on the left hand half of the screen.

    Checked the psu (vestel 17pw15-8) and it has a few bulged caps but all voltages seem to be checking out ok. Sound is also still working.

    Checked fuse on the Tcon board and its fine.

    So to my question, can the faulty caps cause vertical lines? even though the voltages seem ok.

    The tv is a "DUAL 32 inch lcd", Never heard of that make until today.

    Any help would be great guys. Thanks

    Do NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!

    Yeah, they can - you'll probably find that although the voltages appear OK, the ripple is through the roof, and this screws with the rest of the TV. I have had a similar problem on a TV caused by bad caps.

        You should recap it. Pictures are always welcome

          Yes as caps warm up their ESR can fall and they can start working better. Thus the TV may start working. That's a pretty clear sign that the caps are the issue.

            If it does the same thing tomoz after being off over night i will stick some pics up, i will also get some caps ordered and show you the before pics of the power board.

            Thanks again.
