Hi everyone,
I've been dead quiet on the forum lately. Mainly because we've been having a new kitchen fitted so the middle bedroom (which I had lovingly referred to as 'my workshop') had to be converted into a storage room for all the kitchen gubbins.
It's still not sorted out and the house is still upside down after christmas. That, combined with the crappy weather, means that Pinball isn't really happening for me right now.
Anyway, I decided to make good use of the time by stripping down a knackered old LCD TV i've got. It was powering on and the power light goes green when turning it on but you don't get any picture. I initially thought it might be the inverter but having stripped it all down i've found a nasty bulging 220uF capacitor which is sat in the segment that powers the inverter. I therefore presume it's a good chance it's that which is causing the fault.
I seem to be struggling to locate a 35V 220uF radial cap, but i'm presuming that a capactor rated at 50V 220uF would be an acceptable replacement? I seem to recall that the voltage is the maximum permissable so anything above 35V in this case should be just fine?
Just really want confirmation if that's the case or not?
Cheers
pete
