I aquired a 36980 jvc from a garage sale for free knowing that it didn't work. I brought it home and fired it up to see the symptoms and its doing exactly what everyone elses is doing. It turns on for a breif moment and turns off before the screen can illuminate. I can here the HV circuitry turn on, but it just turns itself right back off. I opened her up and found 3 capacitors bulged (c926 was one of them). I replaced all three with my spares and two of them blew again a 100uF and the C926 1000uF. Is there a known problem with the transformer in the power supply? I'm finding a short but can't narrow it down. Don't really want to buy a schematic because I admit I'm a cheap a$$.
