Bulging CAP in RCA TV

RCA TV

Bulging cap only shows it's bulged and probably bad like any CAP bulge or not , maybe more problems beyond that ,you Need DC rail voltage reads and or board (s) diag.

Indications are the power LD board and unlikely mainboard or logic .

Be glad you aren't in a ~ 22 vacuum tube lethal voltage delta gun color CRT roundie ,if you know ,you know ☻

LCD TV DC volts are at DC connectors pinouts > PSU /LD and logic are indicated + *very unlikely main board and or mayne Panel LED

RCA is NOT RCA corp. by any stretch of imagination ,only disposable Pacific rim rubbish now.kind of like Vizio pfffftttt They don't make TV either (RCA) probably if working not bad for that stuff.

Can't get new RCA disposable TV parts

If it matters I have formal electronics education and long ago TV bench work as we can see ,but I keep up . LCD is a walk in the park to diag. and fix but rarely worth it to fix ouside of harvested, used or cheap boards or LED bars and often cost prohibitive in any case in a TV shop or outside tech .

OTOH put your pickers to or near the wong place in and irritate the che` an old NTSC color roundie or later scan line CRT TV I like I started on way back in my electronics day and they may kill or just fry you too he he you gonna schooled about electrocution in the *HARD way you never seen outside the chair, interstate electrical grid ,Sony Trinitron 50 KV or 10-15a 100KV Iridium spark plug automobile coil that all may change your life if you still alive and they may kill or just deep fry your pickers but it usually didn't that I know ,that just gave you something you won't forget soon,

Mean and average LCD TV & panel MTBF is rubbish but it can make a terrific picture on some of them like my new active edge dimming 4K HDR 1000 Samsung UN 55 KS 8000 in here on wall with my 30+ Lb Sony ES 7.1 HT AVR .

Good luck with the TV .......shop jimmy.com or ebay has affordable usually cheap $ to buy RCA boards, but yours (maybe )
