Samsung HLN437W DLP set: No sound

That was the very first thing I looked for. Because there isn't an audio output, there also isn't a speaker on/off setting. I'll check for bad caps next. Is it safe to assume my sound problem would NOT be related to any issues with the lamp or ballast?

Hunted around for bad caps today. After scouring the entire set (except for the light engine), I only found one questionable cap, the largest one in the set. It's a 450 volt, 470 microfarad capacitor in the power supply, and its top is bulbed out like a pillow! (Plastic top) I'm replacing this ASAP anyway, but I doubt it will solve my sound problem, unless you guys think otherwise.

Replaced the entire analog board this week. Sound is back, hooray! Now, I just have to wait for the original remote contol to arrive in the mail. :3
