I read on the i-net and watched a youtube video about an EZ fix. I ordered the parts....bought a soldering iron....quit fishing for a day.....and got to work.

Removed old bulging capacitors....installed new....plugged in tv & PRESTO.

Total cost

$13.95 repair kit
$15.00 soldering iron because I gave mine to the kids when we moved to TV


I found a 42" Poloroid, same problem, 2 caps, cost $5.80, i had a soldering iron :-)
