Monitor won't work

Our Sylvania 6842-PEM won't work. It seemed to spark out the back, went dark, and won't start up again.
We have what we believe are the correct replacement capacitors, according to previous posts regarding this problem, but we are not sure which board, and where on the board they might be located.
Any help would be appreciated.

We found the blown capacitor on the main power board, bought a replacment for 40 cents, and replaced it. The monitor is working again.

Looking for info on Sylvania 6842 PEM

This RadioShack capacitor is no good - too low a voltage rating. Try replacing it with this one, or something with the same values:

This fix worked for me. Best of luck

Sylvania 6842-PEM Flickering Problem

Something is breaking down. Possibly a specific ceramic capacitor on the main power pcb that has been troublesome. Usually there is just a loud pop and the screen goes dead. If the set is less than a year old it is still on parts warranty and the technician could just change circuit boards until the problem is gone.

Flicker-Blinking on picture

Too late now but I hope you had it serviced while it was still on parts warranty. With a couple of exceptions, service on those is by major pcb replacement.
