You do not need to replace TEA-chip.

These are fantastic sets. If you are looking for a new TV, I -highly- advise keeping one of these. The picture will blow you away. Though they do eat a lot of power -- around 350W average!

Re: Panasonic th-42pz80b

so do i just replace the 1uF 50V ceramic cap?

Re: Panasonic th-42pz80b

Replace both capacitors on both MC201 and MC301 boards with 1uF 50V electrolytic capacitors. Use glue to secure capacitors to an anchor point, such as the chips. Don't attempt to do work with the board still soldered in, remove it from the board first.
