ok, Ive had a look and on the same PCB as the 'missing' cap the only others I can see(3 of them) with the same physical diameter are rated 220uF 16v ,

on a neighbouring PCB the same diameter capacitor is apparent(1 off) and is rated 470uF 16v

all other capacitors I can see are of a different diameter,

so I think by conclusion I can go for a 220uF 16v rated capacitor...?

Give it a try steps. But if buying a 220uF from Maplin, you might as well get a 470uF as well as they only cost pence.

 

[steptoe]

just got one today Dave, was working near a small indepentent retailer,

99 F'in pence,! and you thought maplins were dear?!

anyway, its a 220uF 16v one I got, am babysitting just now so will give it a shot when the little one has gone to bed,

what major effect would putting the wrong size in have Dave?

would it work then blow again, or just not work at all?

Should have gone here mate!

couldnt believe it!

last time I bought a capacitor like that I think was something like 20p for a bag of them.

still, if it fixes it then still a cheap TV.

just had a look at maplins, 10p, !

will be going there the next time, still, wasnt worth the time or diesel TBH going somewhere when this place was beside me.

99p ! F me with a large one!!. I would rather have smashed the tele to pieces with a sledge hammer than invest 99p on getting back onto its feet... :innocent

 

[steptoe]

well, I think Ive just wasted 99p,

still a tele without the vision :_|

bin time methinks.

wonder if they do returns on 99p capacitors? :innocent

sorry. I'll get my coat

 

[NozSpark]

That would be SHOCKING if they did :slap

Put it on ebay for spares or repair, someone will buy it.

 

[steptoe]

a nice thought Dave, but me and ebay dont mix,

I dont use it due to a 'small' disagreement with them where they tried to take a couple of hundred quid out of my account to pay for something I had sent to the buyer.
