Philips HDTV 42PFL7422D/37 Bad Cap? Help

[stonetrails]

Philips HDTV 42PFL7422D/37 - I hear the relays activate every 20-30 seconds. TV off but still connected to AC power. Pushing "on/off" button does nothing. No picture, no sound. If I unplug AC then plug back in, blue LED on front comes on for a few seconds, then goes out. I removed back cover, hoping to see a few bloated caps (I read so much about), no such luck. I still think it's a bad cap, maybe two. Anyone have any ideas on how I can confirm this, test the caps in situ, or find the actual issue? Attached is a borrowed image of the of PC boards in my unit.

Well that picture is no use what so ever we need good clear pictures of your boards - clear enough to read the writing on them.

Do you have a multimeter and soldering iron.

What is the resistance reading on resistor 3318 next to the gray rectangular cap?
What is your chassis number on the model number sticker on the back of the TV?
The picture you post is the EXACT match to your TV? It is better to show your board since you may have bad component that you may not see or notice them on your board.

That picture is a picture from the service manual. It would be nice to see YOUR tv boards. They may be different from this layout alltogether. It may have something simple that we can see that needs replaced. Either way, it sounds like a hot side cap problem.

If people can't be bothered to take a clear focused picture, I hit close window.
