Re: Akai 42" Plasma Power Supply - Photos Inside



What would you recommend I do from here? Would you say it's likely that the heat damage spread elsewhere as well?...

Hello badcaps. Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

A 42" Akai Plasma (Model PDP4294) has come into my possession from an unfortunate friend who was tired of sinking money into it. He recently had the Y-Sus replaced by a local repair shop (at $400 clams, ouch) and suspected he had been hit with the same problem. Upon powering the unit on you get a blinking red power light in 5 successions.

I tore it down to check all the caps and narrowed it down to the power supply. The big brown (primaries?) look pretty sad from the top. I believe two are Samsung and the others...
