Bad electrolytics in LCD Monitors-TVs and Plasma Sets are keeping a lot of TV shops in business. One local guy says 75% of the time he can fix the set with only caps being replaced - and he does it in the customer's home!
Samsung sets and monitors are about 50% of the repairs he performs, and yet only 10% or so of the market. The local Service Dealers association has a Samsung warranty guy as a member - he confirms that Samsung and LG sets are "all about bad caps" and that heat is the real issue.

Funny how this has all come full circle - old electronics, recap it to get it going. New Electronics? The same.....

Cheers,
