Plasma can, as it uses phosphor just like a CRT. LCD cannot get screen burn.

Nice vidio. What kind of ESR tester do you use?

Where did you get …
Where did you get all these? Even though these TV’s are well used, they still seem too new to be blowing caps.
I’ll stick with my 10 year old Zenith 27″ CRT model, that still works just as good as it did when new. Not interested in HDTV, but I have found that an HD signal looks incredible on a regular set.

Wow. They really …
Wow. They really need to improve those capacitors. These TV’s are less than 10 years old and are having capacitor problems? This is just one reason I’m not going to be buying a flat pannel TV any time soon. Thats pretty neat you can fix these TV’s though.

@CoolDudeClem It’s …
@CoolDudeClem It’s a direct result of industrial espionage. Chinese spies stole an incomplete electrolyte formula from Japan, which was missing the stabilizer. Billions of capacitors were made with the incomplete electrolyte, and have incredibly high failure rates, especially in hot environments, or when the caps are used in a high frequency switching power supply which puts a lot of strain on the caps. Remember all those motherboard with blown caps? yeah… cheap chinese garbage indeed. >:|

CRT’s are fine as long as you are not looking for HDTV. Vintage TV’s with new caps can last decades.

I’m stickin with CRT TVs!
I may consider getting a projection set too.

Hehe ya, I’ll have to burn some video games or cartoons into it to cover it up
From what I’ve seen, all of these TV’s have ESPN burn to varying degrees. The screens still outlasted the caps though…

SPORTS! :-p

Haha ya, I was getting kinda tired of changing caps after a while. Gets pretty tiring when there are that many bad ones at one time.

I work in the amusement/arcade field, and there is lots of broken stuff that would normally get tossed that people give me to fix. It’s just a hobby for me, so I’m mainly fixing stuff for friends and family. Once in a while I sell stuff on Ebay.

So when something …
So when something breaks, do people rush to you to give their broken stuff to you, where you fix it and get lots of good stuff for (almost) free?

You are thinking of …
You are thinking of Solid Caps. They look similar to SMT electrolytics.
These SMT electrolytics fail quite often, probably partly due to their small size.

I always thought …
.
I always thought that those surface mount caps were supposed to last longer – or is that just solid state caps?
LOL @ the logo burned in, I guess the customer won’t notice as long as you demo it on the ESPN channel!

What is it with …
What is it with capacitors wearing out so quickly in electronics these days? I could expect that from older things from the 70′s and earlier, but then that’s todays chinese build quality for you.

That’s a nice pile of caps you have on your bench.
