They are NOT visible when the set is off...BUT CAN be seen o SOME scenes....as "dark shadows that do NOT move with the programming. This IS somewhat commmon on LCD sets....since the panels are NOT truly sealed...and smoke from cigarettes or stoves or such WILL leave deposits on the diffuser BEHIND the LCD panel. CRT's--as we all know..were SEALED...at least the BONDED ones were....and so this does NOT happen to them. but LCD panels are NOT.
Now the question becomes....what do I DO....with all of these flat sets...AFTER I fix them? ONE I am using...2 others, a 42" westinghouse and a 32" Sharp I am NOT using...both work well...the sharp is missing the stand. I do NOT really wish to keep them "hanging around here" taking up space in my living room...forever.

Sell em on Craigslist man! Find out what new ones are going for and ask for half. Plus you can say the bad caps have all been changed out so it should be reliable for quite awhile.

Hmm! I had no idea anyone would want boards. I'll check that out. I've been avoiding ebay because of the high costs and scammers, but I don't have a lot of coin invested here.
