Got this Sylvania 42" plasma off Craigslist for free. Took it home, took it apart and found 2 obviously bad capacitors, bulging tops, replaced them and 2 others in the same vicinity for good measure. Put it back together and it powered right up.
The problem I am experiencing is that when you press the on button the green led flashes for a few seconds, then goes steady but there is no image. If you shut the tv off and then immediately press the on button again the green led goes through the same flashing but when it goes steady there will be an image.Press the key again, image.
But if you let the tv cool off it will repeat the original sequence where you have to power the tv on twice to get an image.
Once the tv is on it seems to be OK. Watched Kingdom of Heaven from start to finish with no problems. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have inspected all the other capacitors and can't find any that visually seem to be bad. Thanks in advance for any help.
