Cap replacement for plasma TV

[capnc919]

I recently picked up a 2006 Samsung plasma TV for free. Plugged it in and and had some RGB-colored snow on part of the screen. Did some research and found out a popped capacitor could be the cause. Took it apart and found the bad cap on the PCB located on the left hand side of the TV (looking from the rear). It is a Samwha 50V 100ųF PT capacitor. I purchased a Samwha 50V 100ųF RG capacitor as a replacement which has the same dimensions. My question is, will this replacement capacitor work as I am kind of unclear as to what the PT and RG indicates. Thank you.

Not sure about the "PT & RT" probably what series they are. Did find another thread about them but really not too much info.

As long as it is the same value/voltage rating or higher than what you took out it should be good.

Hope that help
