why would i provide the model number of my random ass RF only TV and how i fixed it if i don't even know what his TVs problem is?
are you implying that replacing capacitors is a significantly difficult task? high schools have taught electronics for decades
my tv: magnavox pr1914
never had a service manual, so i never felt comfortable doing anything but a recap
it had geometry issues where the top half of the screen was slightly warped in certain spots vertically. it was only really noticeable in 2D games that had straight lines.
it's been almost five years since i did it, but i took a pic through the vents to show the part of the board i worked on.
i didn't replace all the capacitors, because i found some that stuck out. one was bulging at the top, and another had what i thought was probably residue next to it on the board.
i ordered replacements for only those two because no way in fuck am i going to just write them all down when there's clearly an issue with one of them
it was two of the electrolytics circled, definitely middle.
and no, i never bothered cleaning the entire thing, that's why that cable is especially nasty looking
