How I fixed mine, there were
How I fixed mine, there were 2 boards inside, the small one with the power cord attached is the culprit. There are a few black and grey capacitors on the board. One had an obvious bulge on top. I pulled the 4 screws, unhooked the cord, flipped the board over, and replaced the fattie cap with one salvaged from a Subaru instrument cluster, 470uf, 16v. There was another cap bulging on the tuner board (the other, bigger one), but I left it alone.
Thanks to all the geeks who figured this fix out! I have to wonder how much of the auto componentry I replace each day has failed from this batch of plagued caps!!!! It can cost many hundreds to replace a car's computer or speedo head for some damn two-bit cap!
Thanks, hope this helps. FREE TV FOREVER!!!!!eeej
