Something blew up in my Samsung Smart TV, Help!

[ZeferiniX]

Here's the specific model of our TV: http://www.samsung.com/ph/support/model/UA32F4500ARXXP 

 

So I wasn't home when this happened and my folks just told me when I came back home that something blew up inside the TV and it won't turn on anymore. So I tried to disassemble and look on the insides of it (see pics). The brown one is the power supply board and the green one is the main board. Not sure what's on those covered by black plastics.

 

Looking on this image, I think that's the part that blew up. Not sure what to do with it though. Any idea guys? Thanks!

It was a capacitor that blew up (Blue round thinggy with white stuff behind it). If you have any soldering experience or know someone with it, you can try and find the same capacitor and just replace it.

Its a common problem with capacitors, and usually when this happens, other components don't get damaged. So try replacing it.

Not familiar with the parts and totally have no soldering experience but is this kind of capacitor easy/common to find?

Could take a while, but im sure ebay will have plenty for cheap. I cant link any results, but im pretty sure they can be found cheap.

There should be a code on the actual capacitor, can faintly see an R from the picture.

 

Google the code and there's a good chance you can find somewhere selling it.

I'm from Philippines and I think the shipping cost would cost probably tenfold more than the item itself

Haven't thought of that, thanks. I think I see a "R 221K 1KV". Not sure with the last letter, if it's U or V. 

 

The top result on my google result is showing a "B 221K 1KV" from ebay. Now I'm confused as results are showing "B" and not "R".

Very well could be a B now you've said it, is it as hard to make out in real life as it is on the picture?  

Could be either of them, but if there's no result for it with an R, safe to say it is actually a B.

 

Edit - had a quick look at the reviews for the B one on eBay, definitely seems like the one you need.

I'm wearing eyeglasses so I have my vision to blame  Though I'm really seeing an R no matter how I look at it. Asked my folks as well, they definitely see an R also. I guess I'll try to look around my area to see if this is available. Thanks a lot mate!

Doesnt matter. They just take a long time to arrive. Ive ordered many things from china to have them show up a month later.

I'll try some local solutions first before considering the eBay option. Thanks for the time estimate. My international orders so far have only reached 3 weeks at most. A month seems too long but good to know I guess.
