Re: Sceptre X32 stays on for about 10 minutes, then turns off.

Every time I called they would tell me about a different board that they had to order- or they were waiting for a part to come in. I guess every board was bad or something. Then they described weird things that it was now doing that it had never done before.

follow up: I took the Sceptre to a local repair shop, after working on it for 45 days, they declared the Sceptre "unfixable". The moral of my story is don't buy a Sceptre.
In the meantime, while waiting for the repair, I found a Samsung 20" LCD TV in the trash at the loading docks at work. I opened it up, saw the bloated caps, ordered new ones, installed them after receiving them. My Samsung repair was about 4 days start to finish, even with the shipping time. About $9 in caps. I still had to wait...

I tried replacing the whole power board on my x32. The same problem occurred: TV shuts off after 7-9 minutes. I am a bit of a novice, should I try replacing the next board, the backlight board, or just give up and take it in to a pro?

My Sceptre X32 has the same problem. It stays on for 10 minutes, then picture and sound go away but power light is still on. I took it apart and documented the power board - I noted the CAPs in the lower picture. Anyone think I should replace certain caps or try all of them from the picture:

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I'm new, I'm Having trouble with a Sceptre Model X32 - shuts off after 10 minute. Some searches led to this site. I'm not a pro at this stuff but 4 years ago I replaced all the caps in my Polaroid LCD TV and it been working like a charm ever since.
