Re: Samsung Plasma TV model PN64F8500 power on issue

Great! I'll order a handful of those Panasonic caps. Wish me luck. Haha
Thanks again for your time, jetadm123.

Is the type of cap I sent better, or the ceramic type you sent better? Does it matter?

The space right below it is where the 3 caps are on most of the (older?) boards.
But if the cap in the link you sent will work, I will try it for sure.

Also - thanks for your help, jetadm123!...

Also, I found a couple 22uf, 50V aluminum electrolytic capacitors on Mouser -
EEU-FR1H220B & EEU-FR1H220

I take it you wouldn't recommend trying to install/solder the 3 capacitors in the place they're meant to go?
The board I have is the same as the one in post #63 in the thread over on avsforum.

Hi all - I hope someone is still following this thread. I bought the 3 caps from mouser last year - knowing I'd eventually get up the nerve to attempt the "fix." I pulled the back panel off and realized my panel doesn't have the 3 caps at all - it just has a single cap. It looks like it says 22uf on the cap. My display has all the characteristics mentioned in this thread, so am I right to assume that single cap is my issue as well? I also find it odd that my single cap is 22uf, but everything else I've...
