Hello ! I just got this Philips 50PF9631D/37 Plasma, from a customer who was told repair was 1000$ into another shop. I opened the unit up, powered it on after they 'estimated' it, and found a 35V cap soldered upside down. Well, i found out after powering on the display and found it smoking on the power supply.
So, i replaced that caps, installed it the proper way, and tadam, tv powered on. The owner, first stated the set was dead.
So now, here's the result i get,

For some reason, the pictures look like there's some yellow banding, but there's not. There's a yellow huge stain/spot in the middle, and colors are weird in the bad half, but the good half look perfectly black, and then if i press 'menu' i get a very clean meny in half of the tv.
Anyone got a clue where i could start, could it still be caps related in the psu ?
I tried using freezeit and heating the psu with a hairdryer, but it didn't make a difference. It's weird, half of the screen is very clean. Any input would be very appreciated, keep in mind i'm a computer technician, just doing these tv's once in a while for fun. Thanks !!!
