Lay TV flat on face. Remove all screws around the outside edge and depending on screen size, the ones that are about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way across the back. On most TV's it is also required that you remove the pedestal base or the screws that held it in place. (if some of the screws are longer, or shorter, they must go back where they came from when you reassemble the set ) After all of the screws have been removed, it is usually easier to start to separate the front and back in the center of one of the sides. After the back is out of your way, the capacitors that you assume are causing the trouble are on the printed circuit board that the AC line cord goes to. It sometimes has a metal shield over or around it. The capacitors in question are beside or beneath another metal bracket. Make sure to replace them the same way that you took them out, they do have a + side and - side. Don't use the $2 capacitors or you will get to do this over again very soon.
