John, I will check those components you mentioned. On this chassis C7 is 10uf/50v & C11 is 47uf/35v. Do the components you mention cause ON/OFF cycling problem when the TV is first turned "ON"? The cycle is about every 1-2 seconds, if I turn down the AC to about 90V the cycle becomes longer. I've checked every darn cap in the VIPUR, MTT module and mainboard, replaced about 10 questionable and/or open caps already. Still stumped!
