Hi folks! My first topic here. I picked up a nice Samsung sp-p4251 Plasma EDTV a while back. I hooked in the Nintendo and here's what happens:

5 blinking rings on the standby light ring/power button. I can hear the game, but there is no picture. The screen is not illuminated (no glow). Other than that, it seems hopeful. It doesn't turn itself off or anything like that.

I already opened it up, saw one bulging cap and ordered a $4 bag of new ones. Many weeks later, it arrived (today). I stuck it right in. No joy..

At this point, I'm about to order...

Hello folks! I'm Izlude. I go looking for TVs left on the streets (ones that people drag out to the curb), fix'em up and either enjoy'em or sell'em (for cryptocurrency only, experimenting with a no USD side biz). So far I've fixed a good 25 TVs. Enjoying a DLP as my PC monitor, gave the family a projector of their own, hoping to get a lil more advice for a few projects I have lined up

Cat owner too :P
