Re[3]: JVC service or questions

God Bless you guys
My neighbor was throwing away a JVC AV-36980, and being a packrat i took it from him NO CHARGE. Needless to say my wife was miffed with me brining home more "junk". Anyway i removed the back and started testing things to no avail. went on line, found you,ran my finger on top of C926, felt slight bulge, went to radio shack and replace the capacitor, plug it in and presto Now my Wife has a brand new 36" working t.v.
Again after reading all the posts i can't believe that thesae tvs last only 3-5 years i thought jvc was a top of the line brand, but now i feel different and won't buy anything from them. OK enough babble THANX AGAIN FOR SAVING THE GENERAL PUBLIC $100 - $200

  Count me in as another $3 fix for the AV-36980 unit. I also replaced C926 capacitor and immediately corrected power-on problem. I went with the 50V Radio Shack part instead of 35v. Part number 272-1047 and price under $3. Hardest part of project was getting my wife to hold the flashlight steady. I hope to get another few years out of this 7 year old 36" heavyweight.
