The inverter board is the problem. F*$

Re: Sceptre32 MegMeet mp116 Solved

Hi all, the problem kept persisting. The only cap I had not replaced off this power board was the largest of them all, the 68uf 450v. I bought a Rubycon cap of the same value to replace the Crapxon. I'm happy to say now, that I can start the tv from standby without the picture cutting in and out. The only way I could prevent this from happening before was to cold start the tv from the power switch. All I can suggest to anyone reading this thread and has this problem, you might just save time by starting from where I ended. Replace the 68uf 450...

Sorry budm, my tv is now back where it belongs, in the wall unit. If it craps out again I will post the clear pics you ask, before I bin it. I'm glad you know your stuff. You've been a great help and it's good to know that other's might benefit and not have to buy a new tv because a company goes cheap and uses bad caps. This has been a process of elimination and requires a little patience. Good learning curve, right here. Thanks all.

Thought I'd mention that the 100uf 35v cap I replaced was a SAMXON. Say's it all really!

Re: Sceptre32 MegMeet mp116 Solved

I had the same problem again after a nasty brown-out so I did what bdm suggested and replaced the blue (or black on my power board)100uf 35v capacitor (next to the transistor in question)with a better quality cap and it's back to normal again. Yesterday, another savage brown-out and the TV's fine. Another thing I noticed with my tv is that I no longer have to point the remote straight on at the censor to operate, now that I have replaced the suspect caps and transistor. Yeh! I hope all this helps with everyone that is having problem

Thanks for sharing this info. I had the same problem, tried what you suggested and the lctv is no longer headed to landfill. I originally suspected bad caps for this power board. You saved me a ton of time!
