I can also replace this blown capacitor, if interested, please contact me
Trying to get in touch with Jerry S. I replaced my blown capacitor a few minutes ago but still the unit won't stay on. Any suggestions? Where can a get a new power supply if that becomes necessary? I replaced capacitor per instructions on this site by zexxal.
Have fixed a bunch of those as a Sylvania ASC. There is a small ceramic capacitor on the main power PCB that has ruptured. It must be replaced with a different part, a special type of capacitor, or it will just fail again. Sylvania had recommended replacing the main power PCB rather than repair because sometimes there was additional damage on the board, however replacing the capacitor fixed every one that came to us. I preferred that because some electrical voltages have to be adjusted if the circuit board is replaced with a different one.
The loud pop and flash and sometimes a puff of smoke is characteristic of the capacitor failure on the main power board. People ship that board to me and I refurbish it for $90 and they just put it back in and it works. If the board is not refurbishable, I ship them a repacement for $105, but some adjustments are required with a digital voltmeter to match the new board to the set. If the set owner can do that, fine, but if they cant they may have to call in a technician and the technician may prefer to supply the replacement board in order to warranty the job.

Which capicitor and where is it located I have the main power board out now and has a burnt smell to it,
It sounds like the driver ICs blew and is a common fault with alot of these plasma TV sets. Some manufacturers have the driver ICs mounted on the display panel, some have a differant driver board for these IC's. You will need to take the set in and have it looked over and hopfully the display drivers is part of the complete panel. Good Luck

I have the same problem, and have mine in the shop. They are trying to replace the power board.
The repair shop is having the part shipped from Funai on a boat. I didn't know with UPS and Fed Ex available, companies still sent things via boat.
Is this normal.

The display was the problem with mine. After a long wait... Sylvania finally admitted that the part to repair the TV was not available. They refunded the entire purchase price including tax. The whole process took about three months but it worked out. Bought a new LG brand LCD HDTV and everyones happy.
