Hi guys!

So I've only replaced 1 cap so far and I am not even really sure if it was successful or not. I am a 1st timer newbie and am interested in learning the craft. I plan to purchase a multimeter real soon but am having trouble with a few pieces of electronics so far.

The first is a vizio tv. (vw26L) Originally just would shut off after a certain amount of time, eventually it just start working again for a while. Finally one night the whole screen turned purple and it let out a crazy high pitched noise. Everything I researched pointed to the caps. One guy said...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Greetings everyone! I'm an extreme newbie when it comes to caps, and have lurked for a while. My first cap replacement went pretty poorly, at best, but I am determined to get better. lol

I've researched so a bunch and am excited to post pictures to see exactly what I am working with. It looks like I have 3 boards to repair at this point. :-/ Another monitor went black just a few hours ago.

Anyways, great place for info I am excited to learn about this!
