Thanks to anyone and everyone that can help.
Would heating a capacitor up with a heat gun / hair dryer give it some extra life it was on it's way out?
It show no signs of bulging at all.
I have this 47" Sanyo tv Model#dp47480 and it won't turn on.
I had a feeling it was the first 2 resistors in the power section and so I replaced them.
Then the TV turned on.
After I turned it off and it would sporadically turn on and off when i pressed the power button.
So then I went and got a hair dryer and heated the 2 main capacitors and bam the TV turns on instantly.
I am in the process of checking all the solder point in that are but what I am thinking is when i soldered in the new resistors it heated the caps a bit and that's why it turned on. There are a few other components in the area but my real question is.
