Re: Samsung Plasma TV - Worth Repairing?

I changed the capacitor last night, and nothing changed as far as the video went. The blue capacitor in the picture has a negative sign on one side, while my replacement cap had a giant 0 on the side. I'm guessing the side with the 0 on it is the negative side?

I'll try replacing that picofuse tonight, as well as testing the resistor. What values should I be reading on my multimeter?

Also, is there a way to test the cap to make sure I installed it properly and that it has a good connection with the solder?

Here is a picture of the capacitor. It is right next to the power cable pin for the y-sustain.

Re: Samsung Plasma TV - Worth Repairing?

I'm very happy I searched and stumbled upon this thread!

I have a similar TV but in a 50" (Samsung plasma) and the sound works but video doesn't.

Troubleshooting steps I've done:

Unplugged top buffer board. No video, audio works.

Unplugged the bottom board. Still no video, audio works.

Unplugged z-sustain board, turned TV on. I could hear the audio.

Unplugged Y-sustain board, turned TV on. I could still hear the audio.

On the y-sustain board, closest...
