So I got this TV for free, was told it wouldn't turn on. Guy thought it was a power supply issue. Get home plug it in and it comes rite on. Check the back of it and notice there's a melted spot on the plastic. Opened it up and saw one of the capacitors on the power board was bulged so bad the plastic split open. Replaced the 2 samwha 450v 150uf caps, turn it on and theres a wavy ripple looking area across the top of the screen thats slightly darker then the rest.
So any recommendations on what would be causing this? And would a dry cap get that hot? Or should I be worried another issue caused the cap to melt?
