      Have you tried searching for a schematic or service manual? I'd try, but you didn't bother giving a model number....

      Channeling Wizard, somewhere on the back of the panel is a sticker listing the voltages the panel requires. Can you locate that? Then CAREFULLY check the power supply outputs to make sure it is producing those voltages.

        Looks rather old TV, uses samsung panel with these boards.

        Um, checked the fuses with your multimeter? (power cord unplugged!)

        Cheers, Wizard

          Model #= Prima ps-42d8c (on outer casing sticker)
          Samsung s42sd-yd04 (on sticker inside )

          Checked fuses (3) all okay
          checked power to x and y boards (5Vdc) okay

          that is all I have checked I may need some help if you you need me to check any other voltage

          Sorry Newbie here



          Thanks

            Can we get a better picture of the caps please?

            I wonder if this is the same as my Akai 42" PDP4273m.

Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                All but just the ones you can photograph from the side easily. Like in Pic 1 just the main caps (big ones) and in the other two I'm interested in the ones you can easily photograph.

                    Ok, you've got a mix of G-Luxon and Samwha caps. Both known garbage brands. Can you take pics of the two big black caps too?

                    Chances are those caps are dry failed. You will probably need to replace them.

                    ...and no, it's not the same as my Akai I need to fix. Mine has a MFG date from 2006.

                          A cold heatsink indicates the mofsets are not attached but that's not important now.

                          You're also going to have to change the "SamYoung" primaries. Someone here said that it is a lot cheaper to buy primary caps off of eBay as opposed to digikey.

                          In any case, if you decide to change the caps, follow the instructions in my post here:
                          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...65&postcount=3

                          And also note the series. If there is no series then list the maximum temperature it should be 85c or 105c.

                          Good luck.
