TV screen fix? UPDATE!

[ShawnZR-1]

Post a close-up pic of the board on the left. That's your power supply board.
By the way, what's the model number of the TV?

I'd try and check it out if I was you.

When ours died I figured what the hell and opened it up on the kitchen table.
I didn't have to look far when I saw a capacitor that was blown up, black stuff on top of it ....
I read some numbers off of it to my brother which does two way radio repair.

Two days later an Amazon box show's up and there's 5 of them in there.
I'm not much for soldering, but I did the job and it's still working ....

Was less than $20 for the parts ....

BTW: Same thing, I had audio...

I always do the same before throwing something away.

9 times out of 10 I'm not able to fix it, but I figure it's at least worth a look before throwing it in the dumpster.

Looks like an opportunity for a NEW tv

There are forums to help narrow it down by model and symptoms.

I know a guy who has fixed quite a few-and he says its a capacitor most of the time.

Cans save some $$$$ if you can solder.

I dont have any idea what I'm looking at or what is what. Nothing looks bad or burnt up or anything as far as I can tell.

Post a high res pic of the 2 upper boards. Blown caps are hard to spot if you have never seen one before.

As far as I can tell, everything looks normal. And thats the entire back of the tv, seeing any more components would require me taking it apart further which I'm not looking to try.

It's broken! Take it apart further, lol. I had to unplug all kinds of crap to get to the board with the blown capacitor. I took pictures, lots and lots of pictures, so I could put it back together without having my usual extra parts.

I mean you can throw it away in one piece, throw it away in many pieces or maybe get lucky and fix it................ I got lucky.

Yep you're right, I went to Amazon bought solder, soldering iron, solder sucker. It was cheap and I'll have it forever. I did some practicing after watching a YouTube video and did well enough to fix it.

Ok. Model # is NS-55D420NA16. Here's a couple pics of the upper boards.

Ok see the blue things in the top pic on the right?
Those are capacitors. There appears to be some on the bottom board on the right too.
Check the top of those, see if you can see anything black or one that's bulged.

Check for those little silver buss fuses too.
