Hey all,
I have here a Vizio VX42L HDTV10A that i am working on for my neighbor. It was originally brought to me because it was giving signs of bad caps in the power board, which upon inspection was true.

I replaced all of the caps on the power board and turned the tv on and now it all seems to work but the screen flickers.

So I take the thing all apart again and search for other problems and find that all of the caps on both of the smaller boards (master/slave inverters?) on either side of the tv are popped.

So my question is...if i were...

Hi all,
My name is Dustin but many call me Diablo. I am currently attending online college for electronics engineering and will complete my associate's next month. Currently I work in a trailer factory and I am looking for some type of engineering job in the near future.
I have used this site for help many times when repairing stuff for myself and others but now I think it is time I actually have a login here and participate occasionally.
oh, and my first computer system was an AppleIIE
