Fix a vizio 3d blu-ray player .. with a power issue

hi all ,

My vizio 3D bluray player wasnt working properly .

It would turn on, then light up, read the drive for a sec or two, and then power off completely, no video .  the whole on off process looped about 10-15 seconds .

so, looking around, i did end up finding this post -

So, this was not my idea, nor expertise .. it was totally Jeans' .

But , here it what i replaced -  the 100uf / 400V capacitor , on the power supply . 
--The round topped dome thing, next to the black head sink .. [has 100uf/400V labeling]
The one aforementioned is the replacement .
you can get them here -  2/$5

i did this project this weekend , and it was totally worth it !
basically, for the instruction set .. just desolder , or rip off the old one, and solder in the newly purchased one .  after doing so, i was able to power up fully, and play a bluray w/o issue .
It wasnt able to power up previously .


thanks Jean!
