Great thanks! Its clear. The caps should be coming tomorrow and Friday.

Does the board look ok? I hope I didn't screw anything up when I was desoldering.

Thats lucky as sometimes its really hard too find schematics or good photos too go by.

Indeed had i not requested the cap pics it would've been a mess...

Can you upload a picture of the back of the board the area where you removed the capacitors from we can see if the pcb pads look ok then.

This is why we always ask for pictures with repairs firstly we dont have the board in front of us so nice to see what were dealing with also we may spot parts etc thats faulty and ideal for situations like this with part location etc although some people in various threads dont like providing pictures i have noticed lately.

Good job for a newbie. i see slight damage on one but it will be fine there is enough there to solder to if not you can scrape the green stuff off to get more to attach to.

That is very good removal of the old capacitors ive had to repair a lot worse like lifted traces etc so when your new capacitors come just double check you fit them the right polarity as ive saw one explode when fitted in wrong.

Thanks....yeah I knew it was a little sloppy. Too much flux maybe. I couldn't have done it with out you guys help. Hopefully the installation goes well.

When you do install it take 2 more pics of top and bottom before you reinstall it back to tv so we can check your work and polarity so it don't go firecracker.

Ok will do. Small caps are coming tomorrow but I am playing golf so I won't be installing those until Friday. The big caps are supposed to be here Friday. Hopefully I can install all caps on Friday and have the moment of truth!

All the caps came in yesterday. I will be installing today. I will keep you posted.

as suggested, make sure you post pictures of your work here BEFORE you go too far...just in case some one spot some "workmanship issues"... :-)

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Here are the pictures of my work. Please check polarity and any other issues you might see.

polartity looks correct on all of them voltage rating and uf is hard for me too see as on mobile phone at the minute also maybe advisable to clean some of the flux of the board as with high voltage it can cause a ark at times if you have iprosol alcohol or even nail polish remover etc just clean of around the joints you have soldered.

I am 100% sure I placed the right cap in the right spot. I quadruple checked.

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

Looks good, however i cannot tell if the values of the smaller caps are in the right location. If you're certain it is in right place go ahead and fire. Polarity looks good, soldier job looks ok. However if you have the slightest doubt about location of smaller caps please take a pics showing their values.

[Boyd1966]

Re: Pioneer Plasma Pro 1120HD fixable or Not? 2 pictures shown

I checked the values. All are according to your specs. I am going to install the board and cross my fingers!

I must have diagnosed the wrong caps. Picture was the same. Got the hairdryer out and did some more testing. First I heated the caps I installed, still no picture. Heated the caps to the right of the caps I installed. No picture. Heated the caps to the left of the caps I installed, picture came up. Cooled those same caps, picture went away fast. See picture. of the cluster in the yellow circle. The red circle is the cluster I just installed. The rest are closeups of the new cluster of caps.
