Agreed.

Heck... What do you have to lose? Spend $20 on a few capacitors and you'll know within about an hour's worth of work if you've saved the cost of replacing your TV.
Agreed.

I have fixed one TV and one computer monitor this way. $20 and an hour of my time is totally worth not having to spend $500+ on a new TV.
