Stupid cheap chinese capacitors. TV not working, what to replace with?

... Also, polarity is very important when re installing the cap as mentioned in the other capacitor thread.

Rarly use this TV and its less than 5 years old. I have a LCD tv that is 8-9 years old and its still going and get much more usage.

That and its not just 1 but at least 3 of them that are bad.

Caps, in electronics that is not used often, can accumulate moisture attributing to failures. Use or lose it I guess.

That is the one .... .boom!! a Cap the size of a black cat explodes with about the same energy of a black cat. They seem to scale up pretty evenly as well. So larger cap equals larger boom.

Ordered 11 10,000hr rubycon caps from Digikey. They had the lowwest shipping. Did not even look at the Cap price as the differance was small.

Hope this will fix the caps for a long time.

For folks that have a Samsung and a bad cap issue, you may be able to get them to fix it for free even if it's out of warranty. I think there was a class action lawsuit, which they settled.

Happened to me recently and they fixed it at no charge.

You people with newer Samsung TVs will not have this same issue. The capacitor plague has passed when it comes to electronics manufactured in the last few years.
