The link that Tom puts up will take you directly to Digikey P/N SF35-TPMSCT-ND page, no need to look up the P/N.

Re: Memorex MLT3221 no power

As you know how difficult they are to get at I would replace at least any under the heatsinks - they are probably cooked by now If there are not too many on the whole board I would think about replacing all except the Big one.

I am still suspicious of the big cap as it does not depress, right?

How do you remove the heat sink? It looks like the taps on the corners can pryed up and the components that are attached can be unscrewed,is that the way to remove it?

It is very difficult without a good soldering iron -- I would leave it in case you damage the board.

A solder gun can work better some times when removing heat sinks, sometimes i use a 60 watt gun for me it seems to get more heat sunk.

Sorry - thought you had already taken it off - read your post then retiredcaps
post and thought you had replaced the startup. As Tom says perhaps just leave it til you have to do it. Replace any accessible middle size caps.

I can't believe its been two years since I replaced the diode in that set. That set was the best 32 screen I've ever seen. I kept that one for myself. It's still running great. In fact, it's on right now in my bedroom.

This one has a history of breaking down after being used as a monitor (VGA). I'm curious, were you using yours this way?

What's the LCD panel in it? I think this one uses AUO. Which isn't too bad, probably 5th best LCD panel in world (Order: Panasonic, Sharp, LG, Samsung, AUO, [big space], Chi-Mei, Chungwha)
