I'm completely lost!

[AllenWr3nch]

I have to replace a capacitor for my Samsung LN-T3242H but it's a large capacitor, and all the replacements I've seen are no where near the right size but everything else matches.

It's a Samwha 450 WV 150 microf.



Can I replace it with a much smaller one?

To answer the Q: If you mean smaller can size, if it fits and is the right kind (esr is close, etc), then you should be fine. Be sure to use quality caps (if BCN has it get your caps there and support the forum).

Thanks Ratdude

Allen Wr3nch - You have not told us what size the one you are replacing is?
You also need to clean the glue off those blue caps and better check the resistor is ok before you order in case elctrolyte has eaten through it.
