You could try a lighter to the cap. Just hit it softly and see if the pic comes back. But I'm pretty.sure that cap is the culprit. It's been a while and I should have really noted which cap it was but if my mind seevwa me right I'm pretty sure it was c2304 I remember now it being right near the connector.

If you don't have a lighter you can use the tip of your soldering iron and hold it to the aluminum top of that cap to pinpoint which cap is causing the problem. Just don't hold it on there for too long

I heated each cap with a funnel. The funnel was completely isolating each cap. The cap that made the picture come up is the one in the picture circled in red.

It is a 350v 3.3 uf. I have a 315v 22uf. Probably not but can I use the 315v 22uf as the replacement? If not, is this the cap I need to order? https://www.digikey.com/product-deta...R3B-ND/2688936

Yes order that cap from digikey. Don't use your 22uf it will not yield good results. Sorry I should have noted c2302 before. It's been a couple years since I've done this repair

I realized the Panasonic are only in bulk. I found these. They look the same but would like confirmation. Can you check?

I did find this Panasonic but it is 400v but says 2000hrs. The one above is 5000hrs.

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

SUCCESS!!!!! Its fixed! She started right up with a clear picture. She is like new!

Thank you all who responded with special thanks to freakaftr8 and vinceroger69. And a VERY special thanks to Heavymachines. I wouldn't have had a clue how to fix it if it wasn't for you helping me.

I was going to throw the TV away and buy a new one but all it took was some diligence, know how, and a .68 cent capacitor.

I made a donation to the site. Very well worth it.

Great news Boyd! TV should last you more years of good use. Afterall it is a Pioneer. One of the best even being older. And thanks for the donation. We're always here to help.

Thanks Shawn. I can't tell you how proud I feel. Just another notch on my never have done but did it list.

So with this TV, what other things might go wrong? I know it is vague but just want to poke your brain.

Honestly with TVs this really hard to say. Maybe power supply related problems eventually low voltage conditions causing sparkles or a possible buffer board failure although Pioneer and buffer board failures are extremely rare. Maybe a trap switch eventually going bad if you have one. That's about all I can think of
