Re: A guide to fixing/troubleshooting some common plasma TV problems

Anybody have a common list of caps or other parts that they've needed to fix tvs. I get about 2 a week and most of the time I have the ones I need like 10v3300uf is a common one or 10v1000uf. Every once in a while I'll get a 2700uf or an 830uf. I'm about to place an order with Mouser and I want to order and have in stock whatever I may need on normal tvs. ANyone have a list of common caps so I can order them all at once?


Thanks.


Todd

Man I hope I'm doing this right. These pics probably suck but I can't get my good camera for a couple of days. The tv does nothing, no sound, no lights or anything. The 13 pin connector on the psu reads the correct voltage on my dmm. The two 3-pin connectors above it say '42.9v' but both only read 17v each.

I...

A friend of my dad wanted me to check out his tv that he picked up somewhere (probably a yard sale or the dump). My experience is pretty much limited to changing out bad caps. I've probably done about 20 or so just for friends. I don't charge any money since I like tinkering and I may need a favor some time. I don't know how I've never found this site before.

Ok so on to the tv..........

I did notice that...
