OTOH...I recently SUCCESSFULLY repaired a 42 inch Samsung that had a couple of bad caps like this ALONG with a pair of shorted MOSFETS on the VA and lower B+ supplies. The set was several years newer than this one, with HD and a couple of HDMI inputs.
And last year about this time...I SUCCESSFULLY repaired A newer LG plasma , IRC this size or maybe a 50 inch...with JUST bad caps--and it did NOT go "up in smoke"...
Not sure WHAT went wrong on this repair. he just seemed so HAPPY..it self-destructed like that !! The VS going to OVER 500 VOLTS? (It SHOULD be around 200 volts or often a bit LESS..) tells ME...he MUST have SOMEHOW...messed UP something in the feedback ckt BADLY..during his "cap replacement"..
