Nobody has been better off by watching MORE TV, a delay was likely beneficial for the OP.

You mean you want him to miss all those commercials that repeat over and over and over again?

I just noticed something. If we look closely at the PC board part number for the capacitor in question, it looks like there are two distinctly different part numbers: one for the small footprint and one for the larger footprint.
That could indicate two different models, but it could also just that they wanted to put a note in the repair manual or something if the technician got a replacement part that was the larger size or the smaller size.
That second number is hard to see so I had to guess at some of the numbers, but there seems to be a clear difference between the "0" on the part to the left and a "7" on the part to the right. A better angle for this pic would have shown the part numbers more clearly.
Take a look, and look carefully at the part numbers on the PC board itself.

so i ordered some components from ali-express, blue disk shaped capacitors. Looking it up i find they are ceramic capacitors so i get the numbers form the old one (103M 1KV 19W), order them, wait, then today they came in the mail.
Well they look a bit different

It just doesn't look right i don't think technology has progressed that much since this TV was made, where did i go wrong?

It is possible that you could take another picture of this board where that cap is to be installed?
I'd like to see the TWO part numbers for that ONE cap a little bit more clear. Thanks.
There appears to be two part numbers but just one location for the cap. Hard to see the part number to the right.

Sorry the tv is all together now and working i dont want to risk damaging something else when its working as it should, that would be the worst

Those look suspiciously like mislabeled parts. I’ve had hit-or-miss luck with Ali-Express too. Lately, I’ve been using ovaga.com for electronic components, and they ship accurate replacements quickly.

I agree. The new one was likely just some rolled up news paper dipped in blue paint and then stamped with random numbers. Interestingly enough, it worked.
