Re: PT Series Samwha

Well, just to consolidate, this has to do with my other thread I started [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15970[/url]. I spotted the bad capacitor when I was putting the TV back together and decided to replace the cap with one I had laying around. I didn't have time to wait for shipping.

It happens whether the unit is hot or cold and it doesn't matter which input is being used. Specifically, I'm using the HDMI input...
