Phillips ambilight 50 in red light problem

I had this problem on a 42" Philips Ambilight. After reading in another forum, opened up the back, and found 2 leaking capacitors on the center circuit board (main power supply pc board) toward the bottom. Tops of the capacitors were bludged out (10v 3300uF) and leaking electrolytes. Unsoldered the old ones myself, went to Radio Shack. They were out, so order 12 on ebay for $6.63 including shipping. Resoldered and works fine. Can't do it yourself? Take the board out (just unhook the cables & unscrew it ), and take it to a computer shop or tv repair or someone who knows how to solder, and have them change them. Piece of cake!

I have the same problem with my pf9631d 50 inch. Pulled the back panel off and noticed same problem as KreitlerKe described. Two capacitors bulged and leaking. Heated them up with a hair dryer and tv came right on. Waiting on capacitors to be shipped and will replace. Thanks KreitlerKe.
