I made an intro in the new member section.
So here is my current situation with a TV that was given to me free.
Problem: TV works fine with great picture using my Wii. However, the TV will turn off after a few hours on its own. I only used the tv once since possessing it. But previous owner got rid of it for that reason. When it shuts off the blue stand-by LED comes on right away. It is leading me to believe it is a overheating power with the power supply.
I took it all apart and found what seems to be some bad caps. one is leaking just barely at the top and 3 are popped. They are CapXon capacitors. I am going to replace the 8 large ones. The other 8 small caps seem to be ok, but are the same brand.
I have had two people suggest that the heatsink is overheating and causing the system to go into protection mode and shutdown. I didn't think there was much to 'fix' a heatsink. I guess I could remove them and reapply thermal paste??
I will get some pictures up as soon as I figure out how to get them from my phone and photobucket to here.
Thanks,
Mac
