Hey peeps..long time eevblog youtube viewer..first time poster here! Please be gentle!
Im not a electronics tech but i do have a limited electronic knowledge with DC stuff.. caps and inductors throw me!
A few weeks ago my TV decided to release the magic smoke.. before shutting down completely..it was having issues starting up for quite some time.
I took the TV apart an instantly noticed the largest cap had melted/flaking plastic and discoloration on the board where it vented..
I looked around the net at various repair vids and found i should be able to just replace the bad capacitor (nothing else looked damaged..other caps look fine, no swelling or leaking)
I received the replacement cap today and went about installing it. Powered up the TV and still nothing. checked the fuse and it was blown, so i replaced it with the only other one i had, luckly it was the same amperage and also slow-blow. Powered up the TV again...and BANG!..circuit breaker blew, fuse blown, and it took a resistor with it..
Im wondering, if its blowing the fuse and the resistor, there must be another component thats bad right? possably a Fet or rectifier?..
Im struggling to read the resistor color code..both my limited color perception, and the fact that the resistor is damaged, are giving me trouble! can anyone help?!
I dont know where to go next..ive tested the fets in circuit but im not entirely sure they can be tested in circuit..
Ive looked for a replacement power supply board...but it seems theres none in stock anywhere...
Ive attached pics of the board and the resistor..
The cap that blew is the one in the middle at the top...
The resistor is the one to the right of the transformer in the middle..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
