From: ladybug on 20 Aug 2006 15:24 My trusted Mitsubishi cs-2710ra died, it displays thin horizontal bar on the middle of the screen. I can see picture elements in the bar . I'm debating if it makes sense to fix it or just trash it. I'll attemt to fix it first by myself but I need help to troubleshoot it. Please help me to troubleshoot it or give me suggestions what to look for. Thanks!

Most of the time that is the problem. You may need to replace more than one.

If you can get a hold of schematics can you tell me which caps to check?

Some will have high esr, most will be physically leaking electrolyte, and some will be low in capacitance. This problem may be caused by leaky caps at the vertical output IC and/or in the 12V supply. Ther will be at least a dozen more that need to be replaced or more problems will be occurring soon. The circuit traces that are corroded from the electrolyte leakage will need to be repaired and all of the residue from the caps will need to be washed from the board. We fix these all the time and they are a "pay me now or pay me more later deal." We don't even touch tem if the client does not want to pay to have all the bad or failing caps changed. Just fixing the vertical circuit is a sure way to get a recall in a few weeks or months with an unhappy client.
