So, if I were to go with 35v and looking at the one at the second link pdf below: http://www.newark.com/rubycon/35zl1000m12-5x25/capacitor-alum-elect-1000uf-35v/dp/38M4497 http://www.rubycon.co.jp/en/catalog/e_pdfs/aluminum/e_ZL.pdf The dimensions of the 35v 1000uf is 12.5×25 (is that in...

So as far as I can tell from the photos (funny, It's easier to look at my Cannon 10Mpix image then with a flashlight!) when the repair tech came last year to repair the same supposed problem he used the same type unless he replaced ALL of the caps at that time and what is on the board are all...

Interesting. I'm assuming the white stuff in-between the blown capacitor that is leaking and the inductor is some sort of insulation against heat damaging? Why is that only in-between the two on one side but not the other?

Thanks to everybody who has been helping me out! :) Given that the repair man last year replaced some caps, and I don't know how many or of which type (he came while I was at work with the wife at home) it seems logical to replace them all. I should though be able to tell which ones by...

Thanks for the information. That REALLY helps. My wife's Dad is a retired Electrical Engineer and Ham radio enthusiast. I could not get in touch with him today but I did get a txt he would help with the soldering once I got the right parts. I'm probably being too hasty in trying to pick up the...

That's the safe route ;) I was just trying to avoid having to go home and turn the TV off to find out (cause it will probably not come back on). If I had the stuff in hand I could turn it off and then fix it. Radio shack is within walking distance of work, I'd have to drive out to get them...

So I've been reading the forums and it seems some people are buying 1000uf 35v and others are buying 2200uf 35v. My TV went bad a year ago, Samsung fixed it and now it's dying again (took 8 tries to power on this morning). I can't open it up to see which ones are bad until I get home, but...
