le26r74bd annoying fault!

Hi all, how are you doing?

Ok, i picked up this samsung lcd tv, the tv was stuck on stand by. now i cant remember if it had a stand by light to start with, anyhow... i opened tv and i found a buldging capacitor, AND 2 caps poorly replaced wrong way round. i turned these and relplaced the bad cap. now tv has stand by light with a slight flicked, the tv stays in stand by UNLESS the infared board is unplugged the tv comes to life.

im unsure if person replaced the caps with the proper one, its the caps nearest the av board wire connections. think these onse are known for going bad, i cant see the values on any picture of the psu.
ill upload in a bit when i come back home.

any ideas?

Check the power button on the key button PCB is not stuck down or broken.

ahh the side ones.....that would perhaps explain the flicker from the led. ill check and come back, if it works ill let others know

no, wasnt that.even with the side keys disconected the led still flickers slightly, the keys all work as does the front power key. only when the ir board with the led on it is connected the tv wont fire up, would the small led drain the power for the 'on' signal?

perhaps a shorted mlcc on the ir board is dragging down the voltage? Ohms test across the voltage rails of the ir board should tell the tale, also a voltage test with the ir board plugged and unplugged would be helpful.
