Re: Samsung LN52A550P3FXZA - Caps not bulging

Thanks guys. If you could dumb it down for me that would be appreciated. Total novice here.

Is it possible the caps are bad even though they are not bulging? And how difficult is it to replace that C102? Are there any tutorials or videos to do that?

need help troubleshooting

I have a 52" Samsung LCD TV purchased around 2008. It's model number LN52A550P3FXZA. Upon start up it goes through this whole cycling thing on and off and then starts after about 20 to 30 minutes. After researching the internet, I found out about this potential capacitor issue and then found this forum. I opened up the back of the TV this past weekend expecting to find the bulging and leaking capacitors. To my surprise, all the capacitors looked perfectly fine, so now I'm back to analyzing and troubleshooting and trying to figure out what to do next....
