Sharp 9" Color TV Model 9H102 AC/DC TV Clicks ON But No tube (snow) or sound

Hello,

In examining the components visually, I noticed a fairly large capacitor on the bottom most board the capacitor had a definite bulge look at the top such that it appears to have expanded. I wonder if that capacitor is bad and maybe this is my problem. Here are 2 photos of the same suspected bad capacitor. Any advise is appreciated.

The cap needs changing but may not be the problem. Change it.
While the PCB is out check under the power connectors for cold or cracked joints. Also the small board beside it has a fuse. Check soldering under that board also. To take apart remove the screws marked with the screw symbol.

good luck
