hey guys, 
I was today given a tv for free, there was a catch though it turns on for a few minutes then turns off by its self and gets in a vicious loop of turning on and off, the tv is 32inch samsung LA32R71W, its about 4 years old, i started off by going into the factory setting to check its operating time and its only 700 hours but still done a factory reset, opened the back to check everything and i think a few of the capacitors are buggered, there not hugely bulging but the have small raised dimples in them so im just gonna go ahead and replace them, the only issue is i got to uni (college) so parts,spares and money is at a minimum, living in australia the closest place to me is jaycar, the capictor that needs replacing is a 1500uF 35V 105degrees, the closest i can get locally is a 2200uF 50V 105 degree capicator, the other one which is 1000uF 16V i can get for a direct replacement but the other i will need to source overseas and cost will just add up making it not to worth it if its not just the capicators ie needing an entire new powerboard also, so replacing the obvious first will the higher farads capacitor work??? if there is a possibility of it may damage it im not to worried it was free, if i can fix it cheap its going to go to a friend who dosnt have a tv.
