(CC) (HD) A step-by-step repair video, showing the replacement of swollen/shorted electrolytic capacitors in my Samsung LCD TV. "Sped-up" sequences show relevant information to you, while at the same time providing detailed information.
Note! When I say I "zero" the high voltage capacitors, I'm saying I physically "short-out" the 2 metal legs that come out of each high voltage capacitor (labeled as 50 volts or greater) using the metal blade of a screw driver. This step is done while holding/touching ONLY the plastic handle of the screw driver. This step brings the potential hazard of any possible residual high voltage being present down to a safe value of zero volts. This step removes the threat of receiving an electric shock from those capacitors if human skin makes contact across the capacitor legs, or connected associated circuits.
My Samsung TV would not turn on. It would just make a continuous clicking sound until I unplugged it.
UPDATE : As of now (Nov 4th 2018, over 4 years after this video was made) this tv in the video is still working perfectly!
My TV is a Samsung 46" 120 hz LCD.
Model # LN46A650A1FXZC
The power supply electrolytic capacitors that were blown up in mine were
10 volt 1000 microfarad (blown)
25 volt 1000 microfarad (possibly ok)
I purchased all 4 capacitors at "Sayal Electronics" for $3 TOTAL cost!
