I will get some pictures and more info about the tv on tomorrow.

It was on an LG and I found 4 bad 3300 caps and did my first solder job. I guess I got a little cocky because I bought a tv from someone that needed the money and couldn't wait to try to return it or call Sanyo. The manufacture date is from 4/11. I guess it only worked for about a month and a half and no it won't power on. I thought to myself "easy, I know the problem". I got the back panel off and all of the caps look...
