Not exactly a TV...

...but it makes pictures. My HP LCD monitor was taking a long time to start and finally quit. I went out and bought a new bigger one and got back on line, then decided to try to fix the old one to use on another computer. Many times it's a power supply issue, electrolytics.

The hardest part is figuring out how to open up the thing. There are a few screws, but then the front frame separates from the rear housing by using a couple of screwdrivers and popping it off. I used a marker to label all the plugs to be sure they went back where they should.

Sure enough, two caps had bulged and puked their little guts out, as circled in the left picture, 1000 mfd. @ 10V. RadioShack had 1000 mfd. @ 35V., a little beefier and ought to last longer, but they had to be laid over as shown at the right to fit in tight quarters. Finally, she lives again!
