i have a samsund lcd le37r87bdx last night the picture went but the sound was fine. i think maybe something went on the powerboard? can u spot anything wrong in the pic? can i safely remove the offending capicitors and replace bearing in mind i dont really know anythink about them.

few more .....

hmmmmm have a closer look at the 2 above the transformer, they look swollen to me....

oh and the one between the arrrow and the word cold ...

but its just a guess tbh mate....

thank u, those are the same 3 i suspected. so how do i find out the part number and where do source them from? also are they safe to remove?

look on the side it should say 12v xxxuf x=number e.g. 12v 150uf go to maplin get same type
make a note the grey line on 1 side is negative so make sure u put back right way

Hugs I have a similar problem with my 22" Samsung syncmaster, just started flikering on start up, I have read it will get worse and finally not come on, apparently Samsung used dodgy caps on the power board of some monitors, I have been reading this

and this

wonder if it's similar to your problem ?

Looks easy enough but I am a coward and I have "sausage fingers" lmao
