    Un70TU7000b Backlights work, no picture, has sound, panel shorted caps


    Picked up this Samsung above thinking it'd be backlights but it isn't. Now MAYBE I'll get lucky.
    Found some shorted caps among the panel boards. Each cap along the line is shorted. On every board (3 panel driver boards)I disconnect each side right and left ribbons and they are no longer shorted caps and have about 1.5Mohm resistance (on left and right boards). The middle board has the main board disconnected and the caps are shorted. Last 4 pics show arrow to caps.

    Now what exactly do I need to do in order to attempt to fix this issue?

    do I have to take each one off until the short is stopped? I would assume you test each ones resistance once off. Is there an easier way.

    Never actually found a short before on a panel so guidance would be appreciated. Or any experience with this

    Sometimes you can luck out and see a hairline crack on cap, look with magnifier if you can, there's some other ways but removing one at a time is not really that hard.

      I found the shorted cap, first one. Replaced it and no more short. Short was gone before I replaced it also just from the pads. Yet no dice. No picture still. Same caps only getting .013v along the whole line.
