Emerson ECR1350 cold start issue

[zenith2134]

my Emerson had a few bulging Samyoung capacitors in the power supply which I replaced. If you see these brand of capacitors in yours it'd be worthwhile to change them out.

Hey guys, just checking in to let you know I haven't fallen off the planet. My undergradutate research has just finished, so I now have a little more time to spare in between my classwork. I am going to order the new caps soon; as far as I can tell, there are only two or three electrolytics in the power supply, so I'll replace those first. I am assuming that polyester-type caps generally don't need replacing, since most of my research has indicated that only electrolytics are problematic.

I'll keep you posted as new developements occur.

Well, bad news guys. I finally had time to put in the new caps tonight and they did not fix the problem. The set still turns on (which hopefully means that my solder connections were good) but it clicks back off after a second or so, with the flyback transformer making a soft clicking noise until I physically turnoff the set. This is the same as before.

Does anyone have any other suggestions, or know where I might be able to find a flyback transformer?
