So my dad was ready to throw away a decent LCD TV, and I figured for something to do I'd try to repair it. It gets fuzy along a patch of veritical space and the fuziness gets worse until it's a solid line; It seems pretty random when it happens. From reading online, it seems that vertical line problems are from the capacitors so I took it apart and found the board that controls power (has all the capacitors on it). I found some guides on replacing capacitors that I'll try to follow, but I don't know where are good places to order the parts. Google found some sites of course, but I'd like some opinions on good places.
Also one of the capacitors is glued to the board. I figure I could take the soldering iron or maybe a hot glue gun and melt the glue off. The way it's positioned I can't read what voltage/capacitance is on it only the part number and was wondering if there was a way to find what it is from that (number is T0421 and it's a rubycon YXG series). Googling didn't help with this. I'm borrowing the tools for it so I kind of want to know what it is before I start messing with removing the capacitors.
