If you've got a 50" Philips plasma tv (model 50PF9731D/37) that won't turn on properly, it may be suffering from a bad capacitor due to age or a power surge. Usually, the television will try to turn on and then power down. There may be a blinking power light indicating some sort of error condition.
(Pretty sweet television for $100 and a little elbow grease!)
This video by Christian shows how he picked up this broken television for $100 and repaired it with an hour or so of work and a few $2 capacitors. Christian guides you through the process of locating the bad capacitors and replacing them.
