Just wanted to say I like your videos and wanted to post info on the TV.
But, as for the tuner I ruled it out in my first post since I have nothing plugged in at all and I can see the weird interference in the channel number.
As for caps there aren't too too many so I might as well check all the ones I can and will report back if I find any bad. I have a kit with many different kinds of caps on hand but I don't have a new 3300uf cap in the kit. 2200uf is the highest one in the kit. However, I did find one on a part board I may try to swap it out and see what happens.
And I'm sorry but I don't have a oscilloscope. =(
I'll report back after I'm doing all of the stuff mentioned.
Thanks!
EDIT: I've come across something that is a little weird and sorta out of my ballpark but I'm going to do my best anyway. When testing caps I came across a cap that said low DSR. I then kept dropping my meter lower and lower until it stopped a little above 50ohms. I then took the cap out and it tested fine so I did a little more checking at the components that is in line with this cap. I found a resistor that tested fine and something called a triode thyristor. I noticed as well that it's part of a high voltage shutdown and is in line with 1 of the pins on the flyback. I was wondering if there is any way of testing this component? (Found out no..) Here is the NTE cross reference datasheet.

PS. It looks like the tv was repaired at some point as there is a trace cut and a wire reconnecting the components I guess after the test. Where the cap tested low DSR it's also very close to where the trace was cut. I also reflowed solder where the wire was put and tested continuity fine even though it's not in line with this component.
