    Same difference its as per the link I gave you. I do recommend that care is taken when working with any electrical device, even when unpowered, please make sure cap is discharged.

    If in doubt get it repaired at any local TV/Electrical repair shop.

    Not been funny but from your queries you are better off giving it into a repair shop. Supply them with the info you have been given.
