I think I'll go ahead and order the caps on the chance our identical problem is with the same caps. Thanks so much for the info Arun!

They were aluminium caps and I ordered them from digi-key (http://www.digikey.com/). Given the thousands of caps / types of caps out there, I didn't bother finding them myself - just took advantage of the live chat support available at DigiKey. Good luck!! -Arun. Hi Paul,

We did a similar repair with our Samsung TV with great success. I was wondering if you could tell me how many capacitors you had to replace and what the specs for them were. They live far from us but I'd love to take a bag of capacitors and my soldering gun with me to fix it when we go. Theres a good chance we'd have the same capacitors cooked as you. Thanks Paul Hello Arun

Philips plasma, even though mine started with loss of sound then moved on to not switching on, with flashing gren light not red, I opened it up and low and behold 2 blown caps as described above, €6 on eBay, a mate inserted them and I just placed back in the board and fired up straight away..... :-) thanks JT and everyone else who left a post Success with my 50″.

I have a very similar problem but on a different model (42PFP5332D/37) - the front light stays blue but the TV keeps clicking away and never turns on. And you can see a green LED flashing inside the tv. I do suspect its the same problem though - found a couple of blown caps. Couple of questions - 1) I presume you had to unscrew the power board to replace the caps, correct? 2) Doing so merely involves removing the screws and all the connectors plugged into the board?

Can anyone let me know if I need to buy different capacitors again.

About a month ago when we switched on the power the TV would come on in mute mode and after a couple of minutes the sound would kick in, it wouldn't un-mute via remote control. Now for the past week the TV won't come on when powered up, it does however click into the green led, but after a few seconds it clicks again. If I use the remote to power off it will go to the red led but if I try a power back on the green light flashes, one slow flash followed by seven quick flashes.. The symptoms seem similar to those in previous threads. Just thought I would post this to see if anyone else had any similar issues. It is worth noting that after several attempts, unplugging then powering up, the TV does come on, but I do have to wait about5 minutes during each attempt with the green light on because it takes about that long for it to kick in. Any advice/recommendations would be happly received. Hi, I have a 50 inch philips plasma for just over 5 years.

Just keep track of where you got the screws, etc. It's really that easy. -JT unplug the TV? :-) It’s really simple to get the back off.
