Re: Help! Sceptre X37SV Komodo Caps or Thermistors bad?

Just an update, I tried to power the TV on today and got just a red light at the front. It wouldn't respond as it has previously.

Please help, I need your professional advise...

Hello y'all. I appreciate ahead of time any help that is rendered. You guys are awesome!

I've got a 37" LCD Sceptre x37SV Komodo. It didn't originally want to power on. I pulled the Power board and saw 2 25V 630uf caps that were bulging. I replaced the caps and now the TV basically only powers the backlight and shows the "Sceptre" logo, then stays at a black screen. It doesn't show any inputs or further text. I have to unplug it to turn it off.

I heated up the Power board (carefully) with a heat gun for a couple of minutes. I started the TV right away...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello everybody! I love this forum! So much good information on electronic fixes. I'm not the most educated with electronics, so its nice to see people who care and have patience for people like me. I just got out of prison (haha, I work in a prison) and I'd like to fix a free LCD TV that I got off of Craigslist. Not my first time around bad capacitors, as I was fixing iMac's power supplies back in the day. Anyways, thanks!
