Please be gentle with me, I am pretty much an amateur in electronic matters. Not totally ignorant, I know a capacitor from a hole in the ground, but don't have much experience in diagnosing problems, so any suggestions will be appreciated.
My Olevia 432-s12 went out in the middle of a TV program. Trying to turn it back on, all I got was constant flashing blue light on the front panel.
I removed both inverter boards, and found identical suspicious looking capacitors on both boards. Ends bulged, leaking. I replaced both capacitors, and replaced the boards. Nothing. Same issue, flashing blue light on front panel. So, while the capacitors may have been going bad, apparently they weren't causing the problem--yet.
I am pretty much at the point where I start guessing some more, or ask you kind folks for some advice. Is it worth replacing the inverter boards? Should I try something else first? Help?
