Re: RCA L37WD22YX5 LCD tv no power on

Hey retiredcaps, thanks for the reply. Just got back from a fishing trip and managed to bag a couple Capxom LZ small fry's but the big Samxon must have gone out to deeper water.

I can't seem to find a data-sheet with a voltage higher than 16v on the GD series, though the cap clearly says 35v.

Thanks for the info and the links, they are very helpful.

I have a 37" RCA LCD that has been dead in my basement for the last couple years. I had planned on taking it for repair but then a loss of employment caused me to put it off and I pretty much forgot about it until recently.

It won't power on, the power led just blinks red in a 5 blink error code.

I mentioned this to a co-worker the other day and he suggested checking the boards for swollen capacitors, as he'd repaired a few computer monitors this way.

So I did this today. I found 7 bad caps on the board that the ac cord plugs into. All of them...
