Don't know if there are any tv techs around here but just got a problem with my 15 inch flatscreen tv. It has a little orange led that turns to blue when you turn the tv on. My screen went black last night. When you turn the tv off and then on again the screen lights up normally and the channel program comes on. About 20 seconds or so later the screen goes black but the sound stays on and the little blue led stays blue showing that the tv is powered up.

Been doing a search for thiis problem on the internet and found a couple of fix's. First is a couple of high capacity mini caps that tend to swell and go bad. The other is the back light for the screen and the power inverter module supplyiing power to the backlight. Anyone have any experience in this area with flatscreens or monitors? I have a background in electroniics but more than 20 years ago. I suppose I am capable of tackliing this job but maybe need some coaching if any have experience in this type of problem.
Anyone?
Paul
