Hello,
I read your post dealing with your samsung plasma fix.
I think I'm encountering the same issue you were.
Here is the problem I have :
when I switch on the TV, the red light is flashing, but no image is displayed on the screen (during powering on, the tv makes the little sound -like a little "schtack"- you can hear usually when a screen is powering on, like a starter => normal).
I can only hear the sound of the program chanel and use my remote (change chanel, increase, decrease sound volume etc. are working), but the screen is always black.
I opened the TV, I saw a Samsung 450V ; 330µF ; 105°C capacitor that was bulbed (the one that is just on the right of the red circle you drew). I'm about to buy some capacitors.
Could you tell me how should I proceed to check I have the same problem on the same components ?
What did you measure exactly ? => where, how, what (I'm not used to do electronic troubleshooting)
Remark :
When i opened the tv, I saw a SW2000 switch on the mainboard (just beside the logic+digital board panel, under the power supply). I guessed it was a reset / clear cmos switch and i (wtf) clicked it twice. Since then, when i put on the tv, there is no sound anymore (perhaps just chanel detection is lost?) and moreover, i can't put it off anymore (remote and tv buttons don't seem to operate)...
What do you think about it ?
What should I do ?
Thanks a lot.
Sorry for my English... I'm not english spoken.
