Wharfedale LCD47F1080P Intermittent Sound

[anotherdude]

Got this set last night as it was cheap

Fault described to me was the screen goes off every now and then and sometimes doesn't come on at startup, funnily enough i've had it on for a few hours and experienced none of that

But have experienced loss of audio like it comes and goes if you turn the volume up and down to get it to come back on

Looks like a vestel set, can't see any bulging caps but the psu does have capxon caps which do go bad from what I can see

could these cause the audio on off issue?

tested the headphone jack which works fine

replaced 2 caps on the audio amplifier board (i think) 2 35v 1000uf caps and the audio now works with no drop outs

@tom66 i seen your video for the hitachi with the same fault and essentially the same tv, I know you added in a 1k resistor for q1 and you added that there was no disadvantage to this, did you try and replace caps first?
