Hope that life finds everyone here safe and healthy. I just recently finished up a bit of a hacking job that was a bit out of my comfort zone. Back about a month ago I found a free TV at my local thrift store. It is a Philips 42 inch LCD 42MF521D/37 from 2009. No power at all and once home I removed the back to reveal the power and control boards. The power supply board fuse checked out good but there four filter caps that had vented and bulged, I could not see any other signs of failure so ordered up replacement caps from Mouser.

Low and behold, that was all that was wrong with it. The set now works just like it came out of the box and works great :-)

Never pass up on a free non working item as you never know how easy it might be to bring something back to life.
