Lately Samsung LCD TV have been having problems with its power supply, caused by bad capacitors. In this post it will show images of bad capacitors so that you can easily identify them once you try opening your LCD TV and try to fix it yourself.

Regarding Image number 4 – Look at the top left corner of the image. Notice the cross mark of the capacitors I pointed out with red arrows. Compare the shadow of the cross mark of the 2 capacitors right next to each other, to the left. See how it deformed that cross marks? By that, its just telling you that those 2 capacitors are blown out like image number 1.
