I was visiting a client, who wanted her television checked
by a technician; she has left a message to her neighbor who has a shop on the
same block to direct me to her house.
Once I reached the shop, I introduced myself and my
mission there, while talking to the lady another client of mine whom I have
repaired his television previously passed
by and as we greeted each he mentioned that I really helped him to revive his
dead television.
The shop owner heard the conversation and was interested
to see if I can revive her television which was hit by power surge and decided
to keep it in the store.
I proceeded to my mission and while coming back I found the
lady has already picked the television from the store waiting for me.
I opened the television and since it was hit by power
surge I was much interested on the power supply which always super heavy
casualties once hit by power surge.
First I checked the state of the main capacitor and found
its top part lightly swollen.
With this I concluded indeed this was power surge, sorry I
did not take a photo before removal from the board.
