stevez said:mopar - I am less than an expert in this area but your problem description says "some bad electrolytic capacitors" - a cause for concern even if you find exact replacements.
Capacitors do fail as do other components but to fail together suggests that something - over temp, overvoltage, etc - caused the failures. Replacing the caps would likely not address those failures unless the cause were removed.

Replacing using good quality electrolytic, and using 105 degree ones (not the usual 85 degree), should easily outlast the TV.
I agree, but I've heard you complaining about unreliable tantalums and I'd disagree. I've never seen a tantalum go bad before, but I've seen plenty of electrolytics go bad in my time. I would think that your bad experiance probably be due to a dodgy Chinese supplier providing you with cheap knock-offs.Nigel Goodwin said:As usual - not in my experience in TV's!

What TV repair? that still exists?Krumlink said:Maybe they dried out? Electrolyics can suffer that, so I would replace them, but should the problem arise again, take it to a TV repair specialist.

But Most are Big Screen TV's and Most are really just Replacing Whole Boards. Not Individual Components.
