Hi, I have a couple of questions about my TV that I have just thought of.

1) would anyone have an idea as to why the picture stopped working AFTER i replaced the capacitors. Could it be that the capacitors don’t work, or is it just pure coincidence. There was a picture with the caps i replaced, albiet smeared.

2) when I test the voltages with the multimeter, where do i connect the “pens” from the meter onto the PCB? Is it on the solder spots to the certain component, eg resistor or diodes.

Thanks
