hi
thanks for your reply.
you are right, the two caps you mention had bulged, so i did replace them but tv still only has sound, no picture.
after much searching, i found a thread where someone had the exact same problem, and after he replaced caps he found this fuse had blown. After replacing fuse tv worked again.
the fuse in question is an axial fuse, coated in a green rubber sleeve locate at f2 on the board.
after i desoldered the fuse and circuit tested it i got no reading.
the tv sound still works with this fuse removed.
the only fuse i can find with the same ratings are radial fuses from rss, but i am not sure if these would be a good substitute.
