I turned on my 27" Akai DVD Combo, it was working fine, left the room for a minute when I came back there is sound and just red and gold with a slight picture in the background. The same when I put in a DVD.
Awesome and a simple fix...Thanks,

If you can solder, you can fix this television. open the back there is one visible board with three bulging caps on it. the other board under the aluminum screen is usually fine leave it alone for now. On the board withe the bulging caps (three in a row 16v1000mf) you will need to remove the problematic caps. Use a desoldering iron or if you are very brave you can use a dremel (not advisable as you would have to remove the solder from the joint and then remove the caps with pliers). You can get 24v1000mf caps at radio shack for next to nothing jsut solder them in and rplace the board in the unit. viola if it doesn't work then you need to replace the MLT168a/b board you were jsut working on with a MLT169c from megmeet.com Replacing the caps did it for me though

There is no picture. The indicator light flashes red when turned on.
