Hi folks, first post, be kind 
Pretty certain the fault with this is the PSU. It's a Vestel 17PW01-4. There were 5 bulging caps on the board that I had replaced, and the guy who did it said there was also a dry joint that he fixed. However, when it was refitted it still doesn't work. Just shows a solid blue light (standby). When using the remote you can hear it try and start up, it clicks, but nothing happens.
The five capos I replaced were the one just under and to the left of the ISOLATED marker on this pic http://www.lcdtvparts.co.uk/index.ph...image&pID=2103. Those 5 were bulging.
I think I'm going to give up on the analysis of the fault because I don't have the expertise or equipment to go any further. I decided just to look for a replacement, but they're almost impossible to find.
The part I want is sold by lcdtvparts:

It'll be a pull I guess.
I have managed to find this at CHS:

However, that's for a Hitachi. I'm not sure if it would be compatible, but it looks almost identical. It looks like TR819 and TR820 have been replaced by a single unit.
Anyone know if this would work? I checked the full details of the serial numbers. The one I have is 20435001, the lcdtvparts one is 20435003 and the one CHS one is 20435010. All of them are 17PW01-4s. Confused, yes I am.
