Re: Discharging and General Capacitor Information for LNS4051 LCD TV


Well that's good to know.


To measure with a multimeter (which I have) I just need to set it to a reading level and touch the probes to the bottom solder connection points?

Will Radio Shack have said resistor if I need it ? TV has been unplugged for almost 24 hours now, so hopefully its discharged.

What about the other areas of the board with the "?" once the "big one" is discharged we should be good?

Also I have read that when...

My name is Jason. I am a network engineer for State Government.

I joined recently to learn and get more information on a specific CAP that I have and scared to get shocked.

My worst fear is getting shocked. I hate it. I really really hate it....but anyways. Never done much with CAPS and before I take on the LCD repair I figured I would try to educate myself.

Thanks,

I have been trolling and reading the forums here for a few hours and trying to figure a few things out.

1. How long for the specific capacitors on my board to discharge?
2. Good SAFE method to discharge said capacitors.
3. SAFE procedure that will prevent a SHOCK to me or the board.

I have read around and feel 100% confident that I can solder and replace the caps just need to learn more about the specific caps I see and need to replace.

Like most people on the boards my bad caps are the ones situated in an assortment of 5 near the power...
