Thanks for a simple to follow video. Just repaired my own TV following your tutorial and saved myself a fortune not having to buy a new TV (which is my wife's solution to everything that gets dirty, let alone breaks!).
I just replaced 3 bad caps in my Samsung 55 inch TV. It not only fixed the clicking and slow to no start up, but I also had what looked like some lines and bad pixels that have been fixed as well. Thanks for your video. It was a great help
I've had the same 40" Samsung for at least 10 years and just now started having the power on issue. I replaced two bad caps like you showed, my first ever soldering job, and now it works perfectly. Thanks so much for this video! It was very helpful.
Your video is so clean and precise, it appears to have been made inside the white room from The Matrix. I feel very confident now as I go about changing bad caps on my motherboard, thanks!
Thank you for identifying and giving remedial repair advice. Two replacement capacitors cost £1.50 and now my 40" 10 year old Samsung TV is as good as new.
Dude ... get a new TV. 40" is fine but 10 year old TV tech isn't. You would LOVE an LED screen of decent quality with smoothmotion or some similar tech. Trust me. Sell your fixed one to go towards the new one!
You are FANTASTIC! Followed your instructions and my 8 year old Samsung 46" tv works again. Cost of repairs was about $18 (Soldering gun, solder and 2 capacitors). I can not thank you enough!
I just replaced two bad capacitors in my tv thanks to your video! I saved a couple hundred dollars and feel like I won the lottery! Lol thanks so much!
Thanks for this video! My TV kept randomly coming on after I turned it off, I thought I was going mad to start with, I'd come home from work or I'd come down stairs in the morning and it would be on. Then suddenly it started clicking as if trying to turn on but couldn't over and over and over. I took it apart and saw 4 swollen capacitors. Replaced them and its working fine again! Simples.
I was getting the clicking noise and after a few days it would not start up at all. I just replaced 4 bad capacitors in my Samsung model # LN46A650A1F with the use of your video. I put it all back together and it started right up with the 1st attempt. Thank you for your help and I will be subscribing . :)
This is a great video. My tv isn't broken but I came across this video and I am happy to see that this clearly explains a lot of the basics of replacing a bad capacitor and soldering. I was familiar by most of this, but there are some things like using flux and cleaning up with alcohol that I'm goint to put to use as of now. Thanks!
You're one of the finest technician I have ever seen on youtube channel that teach on how to fix electronic equipments. Yours are very finesse and above the ordinary skill. Keep up the good job and I subscribe to your channel so that in case I need your help I can watch some of your methods. I learned so much from you. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! Thank you! Your video was very informative and just when I was going to trash my tv I run into you video and for less than 15.00 dollars changing 2 capacitors made my tv work as good as new , thanks once again.
Where did u buy your solder kit??? That was so cool how fast you got the caps off! 😆 I wanna try fixing tweeters/amps for car audio. Excellent video!!!
Sir your video is pretty good but after 45 years of electronic servicing I have to disagree with at least one point you made concerning the replacement voltage of the Capacitors, You said about the higher voltage capacitors,"They should be ok","The Voltage rating of the capacitor is the maximum working voltage of the capacitor so as long as the UF Value is correct you can use ANY capacitor rated higher than the original voltage will be ok as long as it will physically fit on the board,IE,even 50 volt,100 volt ECT and actually the new capacitor will last longer than the original.Also the other Capacitors in that power supply will most likely have high ESR and bulge soon after this repair so capacitors being as cheap as they are I have always replaced them if at all questionable and I had over 2000 happy customers in my files,just a tip from an OLD School repairman.
MrSundownman49 I appreciate the advice. I was concerned about finding capacitors with voltage in the same range. In the Samsung TV I'm trying to repair, all the capacitors appear to be from the same defective "SAMWHA" brand. The difference is that all of them are intact and have no noticeable bulge. Considering that it's hard for an amateur to identify the questionable capacitors. Do you recommend replacing all the capacitors including the largest one? I should add that this will be my first time soldering electronic components.
The101damnations First I would buy quality Capacitors from a reputable parts supplier,the Samwha Capacitors are very cheap and the TV manufacturers because they are cheap and all they care about is profit and as long as the capacitors last through your warranty period they are happy and off the hook.I would replace any capacitor that is bulged on top automatically! In the power supply I would replace all caps and the reasons I say this is are,A: you know the Samwha caps are cheap and prone to quit. B: you are not comfortable checking the ESR Of the caps. C:if you do not replace them now you will have to in the possibly near future. Electrolitic caps generally have a rating in UF(Micro Farads)at plus or minus 20% but you should get exact values if you can,on the Voltage rating,if rated at 35 volts I would buy caps rated at 50 volts and this is completely safe and acceptable and the caps will last longer if they are not at the minimum voltage rating.In 45 plus years I have never replaced a Cap at the minimum voltage rating! Some might say I cheated myself of more future repair work by doing this,I prefer to say I did the right thing for my customers! Good Luck Bob

MrSundownman49 I had my power board repaired. They changed out 4 capacitors. Well 2 months later TV stopped turning on. Finally opened the TV and the 4 capacitors. They repairs bulged again. Any thoughts as to what would cause them to go out so quickly?
Hey firts i whant to thank you for the free tips i found this so help full after 60minutes since i watch this video i open 3 of my tvs that dont turn on and i found the caps blowed up with some kind of dark wax or something leaking i have 6 tv's in my basements and they are like new on the exterior but dont turn on i already took the panels out but my question now is where can i find the cap's so i can replace them??
Thanks for the great advise on the cap replacement. It cost me 7dollars for 4 new capacitors and 25 dollars for a new soldering iron. It was a great afternoon project for me and my 5 yr old son. It was Better then the 85 dollars service fee I was quoted over the phone. T.v. Works like new.
Great video very informative. I had a Samsung tv Samsung-LN46A650A1F-Power-Board it had bad caps just as your video described. Done the exact same thing. Unnoticed the tv making a clicking sound and would no longer power on. I seen the relay was making the clicking sound. Replaced 4 bad caps right in the same location as the ones in the video. What type of solder and flux did you use solder these capacitors in place. Thanks for all the great videos Hakko makes the best products
@Ignacio Galarza - Although the caps look fine, they could still have an issue. The only way to know for sure is to check them with a meter. You could also replace the entire board. Unfortunately, we are currently out of stock for this board, however you can search the board on our website, shopjimmy com and sign up to be notified when the board is back in stock. Thanks and please let us know if you have any further questions!
fab video only thing I was interested to be sure of was the positive and negative going in correct way I know the longer is the positive shorter negative but is the marking fir +&- on the board? thank you
Followed the advice....sure enough, two puffed caps. Ordered them ...had them in a couple of days (if I lived in the main City I would had them in 1 day). Replaced them, re-installed the rear cover. No picture. Hmmmm...Did I leave something not connected. Off with the back...sure enough I left one of the cables to the PS unconnected. Bingo...Thanks for taking the time to post the videoi BTW - I did order the caps at 16v.
Thank you for the great videos..It worked great on my lcd when the caps went bad. But now my samsung hls5687wx/xaa is making a high pitched beeping sound when its powered off. It is not the color wheel (that is all that i keep finding in the online forums). It is most noticeable in the morning after it has been off all night. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
@Juan Mejia - I would recommend replacing the power supply in your TV. You can search your TV model number on our website, shopjimmy com to find the part. I will also send you a TH-cam message with specific directions and the part number for your replacement power supply. Thanks and please let us know if you have any further questions! (877) 881-6492
Hello, thanks for your service. I have a Samsung HPT5054. I want to ask. If I have a capacitor that needs to be set at 105 degrees. Can i replace it with an 85 degree as long as voltage and mf matches. Thanks
Replace all capacitors that are same brand, voltage & capacity as those that are oozing, then donate all pulled capacitors to your local university's EE department. Good deed done!
No local capacitors, but I ordered from ShopJimmy. I've never soldered before and it took me 10x longer to do this, but with God's help it worked and Samsung is working like a champ. Thanks!
Hi S.J. Great vid. Thanks for showing us the solution on how to fix this problem. I have a Samsung 40" Model: LE40A556P1FXXU, which has just started to switch on and off several times when it eventually comes on. Will this problem get worse over time? Also, I get green / yellow ish vertical lines on both the left and right hand side of the screen, just a couple of inch's wide. This only shows up when the screen goes dark, for instance when viewing a film shot at night. Can you please advise if a repair is a cost effective solution, given the issue with the coloured lines. If so could you please advise approx. cost of parts. Many Thanks,
justdom999 If the TV shuts off then turns itself back on I would replace the power supply but if the screen just loops itself replace the main board. Here is a link to replacement parts for your TV model number on our website, click here: www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=LE40A556P1FXXU Be sure to match part numbers on your current board, with your replacement for compatibility.

What type soldering iron were you using that would also suck up the solder after melting solder? Also my Samsung has 1 cap 1000uf 10v 105c but I've also got what looks like a white hard foam in a couple places on the board. It almost appears that it may have come out of one of the circuits. Does that white hard foam looking stuff mean anything? I've got a 40 in model LN40B530P7N
Thomas Reynolds A desoldering tool such as the excellent Hakko 808. Many boards are glued to help hold components in place, but some leaking caps will foam as well. What are the problems/symptoms with your TV? Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
Hey, thank for the Video, I have an old LG model 42PX3RV-ZA . the initial problem was that the TV was blowing fuses at the socket when in standby mode. Then eventually it turned off one night when watching and won't power back on. I have opened it up and spotted 2 blown caps and am about to replace. Would this cause the plug fuse issue ? Thanks in advance
With the cell phone cameras we have today I like to just take a picture. A picture is worth a thousand words. Of course I was a professional photographer for forty years.
Hi! I have a Samsung 1080p Plasma model FPT5084X/XAA; version KL01. The other night it made a loud pop and went off and hasn't come back on since. We want to try to do something with it, but not sure if the pop has anything to do with a bulging capacitor. Also, there have been absolutely NO issues prior to this pop. It has been an awesome tv and it's 6 years old.
Ever hear of one of these capacitors healing themselves? I noticed one bulging in my Sammy Tv (a year ago) and I've been meaning to replace it. Opened the TV up today (was about to take the board out to take it to radio shack) and the bulge was gone. I even scratched/marked the capacitor a year ago so I wouldnt forget. Plugged TV in for the heck of it, it now works. Think it'll last? Strange.
Can you please elaborate on two things. First, can you please clarify how to correctly identify the capacitor from the rear of the television to ensure removing the correct one. Second, what type of material did you paint on rear of the capacitors before soldering them?
MrSundownman49 hello sir , how do I figure out what cap to buy online. I'm trying to get it from Jimmy shop online but its way too many to look through. My cap says 25v 105c. Its small and brown . Please help.
I found a 60" Samsung on Craigslist for 310.00. It sounds like it has a power supply issue. After doing some reading I have a suspicion that it has this cap issue. I would probably just replace the entire power supply board. What do you think take a chance and buy it? Here's the listing "Samsung plasma tv pn60e530, manufactured December 2012, the tv base remote, great picture. it has a issue that it, will not always turn on the 1st try" You're input is greatly appreciated.

Hello there. Thanks for this video, but i have one question?. What is the name of the tool which you use to remove the Capacitors?. I didnt get the name, it sounded like "solder way" or something like that?. Thanks.
i have the same problem ... it happened to me before and i fixed it by replacing one of capacitors ... but this time i didn't find the exact number (1200uf/25v) ... is it safe to use 1500uf/25v instead ? (got another options like 2200uf/25 or 1000uf/25) but some tech suggested to use 1500uf but i wanna make it more safer by looking and asking ... i know it's old video but i hope i can find some answers :)
Hi, I've seen a lot of vids about Samsung Tvs that won't post. I have a Samsung 50" LCD HDTV MODEL#: UN50EH5300FXZA. I haven't opened my tv yet to see what the problem is for sure. All I know is that the tv does not show any signs at all, no led's no clicking sounds just dead. Any ideas? And does this fix apply to these symptoms?
65" sanyo model # FW65D25T same issue , must restart sometimes 20 times to get picture, once on , beautiful picture.replaced t con board to no avail.now looking at capacitors , and all look good.any advice ?thanks in advance.
Hi I have a Insignia 46" model NS46E34A13 built in 2012 and power supply board is the model 715G5173-P02-W21-002M ;my TV issue is that takes time to turn on I have to plug and unplug the TV from the wall several times before I got to turn on the beginning it use to do it one or two times now with the time is taking 4 o more before I can make it work. I'd follow your video and take the back off the TV and after reviewing the capacitors they look fine there's none being inflated like the ones on the video do I missing something??? or maybe its another issue with the TV??? I got pictures I'd take that i can send you maybe you can see what i didn't I got some experience with electronics and soldering but in my visual inspection I didn't got anything I will appreciate your guidance if I can test the board in some other way I know how to use a multimeter and with your help I hope I can fix my TV before stops working. Thank you in advance for your help
lyon65 Try all repairs and troubleshooting at your own risk. Since you have experience with a meter, I recommend checking for the 5 volt standby on the power supply. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
i gotta a Digihome think my Power supply is gone or going soon, gonna give this a go, the old Capacitor (changed many of these over the years) prone for Knitmemares
Nice DIY video. But please please please do not re-melt the tin without adding som fresh with flux. There are usually flux fused inside of the tin you buy on rolls, and that will help the tin flow and bind. I work at a printboard factory, and it is a death sentence to re-melt tin without adding more flux. As soon as the tin stops smoking, the flux has burned away and you need to add more.
Once you have tacked one lead on each cap, the cap cannot fall out. Straighten the other lead so it is no longer bent and then solder it. Then hold the first soldered lead with pliers, melt the tacked joint and straighten the bent lead. Then finish soldering that joint and cut the leads. In this way the caps will fall out next time you come to replace them. Better still, don't bend them in the first place. Instead place a pad of foam rubber/plastic under the board and put the board and caps down on that. The foam will hold the components in place without needing to bend any leads.
Thanks for a simple to follow video. Just repaired my own TV following your tutorial and saved myself a fortune not having to buy a new TV (which is my wife's solution to everything that gets dirty, let alone breaks!).

TheVanillatech never buy a new TV if it just works
buying a new tv yeah , OR fixing it yourself and having it go and having great pride in actually fixing it yourself is priceless "apart from parts"
Its a decade old video, but it helped me fix my TV today. First time soldering job but it was an easy fix. Thanks a lot!
You are FANTASTIC! Followed your instructions and my 8 year old Samsung 46" tv works again. Cost of repairs was about $18 (Soldering gun, solder and 2 capacitors). I can not thank you enough!
where did you buy all your materials? I want to give a try at fixing my tv, it's having the turning on problem.
Awesome video, I repaired my Samsung TV after watching this video in about 1 hour....thanks for posting this
Thanks for the video. Just replaced 2 bad caps on my Samsung tv. Despite no experience with these things it was a piece of cake. Great video.
A very helpful video. Clear shots and easy to follow. I have this capacitor problem and now I know how to fix it. Thanks for making the video.
I just replaced two bad capacitors in my tv thanks to your video! I saved a couple hundred dollars and feel like I won the lottery! Lol thanks so much!

Thank you very much
Followed the advice....sure enough, two puffed caps. Ordered them ...had them in a couple of days (if I lived in the main City I would had them in 1 day). Replaced them, re-installed the rear cover. No picture. Hmmmm...Did I leave something not connected. Off with the back...sure enough I left one of the cables to the PS unconnected.

Thank you for the great videos..It worked great on my lcd when the caps went bad. But now my samsung hls5687wx/xaa is making a high pitched beeping sound when its powered off. It is not the color wheel (that is all that i keep finding in the online forums). It is most noticeable in the morning after it has been off all night. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Wow, thanks! I was going to pay R900 to have my TV repaired, it costed me R4 (price of the capacitor) after watching this video.
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing
Best background music volume on TH-cam :)
Nice and very clear video, thanks!
Awesome. Best and simple video.
Steps 1-4: Hmm seem's pretty straightforward!
Step 5: "Get it wrong and it could explode..."
Oh...
Great video though thank you!
Yeah! I was all game till... lol
Did this work for your TV? This video is old but it still seems to be a problem with Samsung TV’s. I’m about to try and fix mine this week.
Ciaran Ryan yeah it worked fine actually! I only replaced the ones that looked bad I.e leaking or bulged in some way.
They always do the easy work on youtube.
Dude that desoldering thingy is awesome, what is it specifically?
@ArmStrong0421 - Yes you can. Please let us know if you need nay components. Thanks!
Very educational video to learn from.
@Teresa Johnston - What is your TV model number? Thanks!

Clear and detailed. Thanks
Really made easier to repair at home thank you
Could you please tell me where you bought the soldering iron? Thanks. Great video.
Lorenzo Chin It is a hakko brand and you can find them online. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com

@Juan Mejia - I would recommend replacing the power supply in your TV. You can search your TV model number on our website, shopjimmy com to find the part. I will also send you a TH-cam message with specific directions and the part number for your replacement power supply. Thanks and please let us know if you have any further questions! (877) 881-6492
Hello, thanks for your service. I have a Samsung HPT5054. I want to ask. If I have a capacitor that needs to be set at 105 degrees. Can i replace it with an 85 degree as long as voltage and mf matches. Thanks
Replace all capacitors that are same brand, voltage & capacity as those that are oozing, then donate all pulled capacitors to your local university's EE department. Good deed done!
excellent vid bud
Thank you!!! Worked like a charm:)
I want to learn electronic engineering from this man.
No local capacitors, but I ordered from ShopJimmy. I've never soldered before and it took me 10x longer to do this, but with God's help it worked and Samsung is working like a champ. Thanks!
Thank you for a great video.
Hi S.J. Great vid. Thanks for showing us the solution on how to fix this problem. I have a Samsung 40" Model: LE40A556P1FXXU, which has just started to switch on and off several times when it eventually comes on. Will this problem get worse over time?
Also, I get green / yellow ish vertical lines on both the left and right hand side of the screen, just a couple of inch's wide. This only shows up when the screen goes dark, for instance when viewing a film shot at night.
Can you please advise if a repair is a cost effective solution, given the issue with the coloured lines. If so could you please advise approx. cost of parts.
Many Thanks,
justdom999 If the TV shuts off then turns itself back on I would replace the power supply but if the screen just loops itself replace the main board. Here is a link to replacement parts for your TV model number on our website, click here: www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=LE40A556P1FXXU Be sure to match part numbers on your current board, with your replacement for compatibility.

Where do I get a desoldering iron like the one you have.
Brilliant DIY
wow really good video
very helpful...thank you :)
What type soldering iron were you using that would also suck up the solder after melting solder? Also my Samsung has 1 cap 1000uf 10v 105c but I've also got what looks like a white hard foam in a couple places on the board. It almost appears that it may have come out of one of the circuits. Does that white hard foam looking stuff mean anything? I've got a 40 in model LN40B530P7N
Thomas Reynolds A desoldering tool such as the excellent Hakko 808. Many boards are glued to help hold components in place, but some leaking caps will foam as well. What are the problems/symptoms with your TV? Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
Hi Jimmy, What iron do you use?
Does that desoldering iron work well? In this video it did a great job but overall how is it?
Hey, thank for the Video, I have an old LG model 42PX3RV-ZA . the initial problem was that the TV was blowing fuses at the socket when in standby mode. Then eventually it turned off one night when watching and won't power back on.
I have opened it up and spotted 2 blown caps and am about to replace. Would this cause the plug fuse issue ?
Thanks in advance
thefridge1000 I don't think it would cause that issue. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
nice stuff keep up
I'd want to make a rough diagram of the capacitor polarity before pulling them out. A lot of boards are not marked. Thank you for a good video.
With the cell phone cameras we have today I like to just take a picture. A picture is worth a thousand words. Of course I was a professional photographer for forty years.
Hi! I have a Samsung 1080p Plasma model FPT5084X/XAA; version KL01. The other night it made a loud pop and went off and hasn't come back on since. We want to try to do something with it, but not sure if the pop has anything to do with a bulging capacitor. Also, there have been absolutely NO issues prior to this pop. It has been an awesome tv and it's 6 years old.
Ever hear of one of these capacitors healing themselves? I noticed one bulging in my Sammy Tv (a year ago) and I've been meaning to replace it. Opened the TV up today (was about to take the board out to take it to radio shack) and the bulge was gone. I even scratched/marked the capacitor a year ago so I wouldnt forget. Plugged TV in for the heck of it, it now works. Think it'll last? Strange.
Can you please elaborate on two things. First, can you please clarify how to correctly identify the capacitor from the rear of the television to ensure removing the correct one. Second, what type of material did you paint on rear of the capacitors before soldering them?
I took a look on your website. And I looking for some capacitors: around 820 uf, 105C and at least 30v. Any recommendation ???
Moustafa Mendscole You can search online. Possibly B & D electronics.
thx so much!!
thank you
MrSundownman49 hello sir , how do I figure out what cap to buy online. I'm trying to get it from Jimmy shop online but its way too many to look through. My cap says 25v 105c. Its small and brown . Please help.
what kind of solderind gun you recomend thank you
I found a 60" Samsung on Craigslist for 310.00. It sounds like it has a power supply issue. After doing some reading I have a suspicion that it has this cap issue. I would probably just replace the entire power supply board. What do you think take a chance and buy it? Here's the listing "Samsung plasma tv pn60e530, manufactured December 2012, the tv base remote, great picture. it has a issue that it, will not always turn on the 1st try" You're input is greatly appreciated.
Paul Olmstead Please watch this video FIRST to help with your repair! TV Repair! LCD, LED, Plasma, DLP How To Fix Your TV with ShopJimmy.com Help! The cap problem is not as common with the newer models. It could be a problem with the power supply but not 100% sure. If you do end up buying the TV and need replacement parts, here is a link to our website search results for that TV model: www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=pn60e530 Be sure to match part numbers on your current board, with your replacement for compatibility.

Hello there. Thanks for this video, but i have one question?.
What is the name of the tool which you use to remove the Capacitors?.
I didnt get the name, it sounded like "solder way" or something like that?.
Thanks.
krazivaya A desolder gun. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
I've replace 2 of 820uF200V capacitor with following your instruction of your video. There's no power is on. What could be the problem?
i have the same problem ... it happened to me before and i fixed it by replacing one of capacitors ... but this time i didn't find the exact number (1200uf/25v) ... is it safe to use 1500uf/25v instead ? (got another options like 2200uf/25 or 1000uf/25) but some tech suggested to use 1500uf but i wanna make it more safer by looking and asking ... i know it's old video but i hope i can find some answers :)
pro video! 10/10
what kind of soldering iron you are using? can i have the brand and model might help.
+Nalla Nagadna Hakko 888d Soldering Gun. Lol, forget about it. You might as well buy a new TV.
For power section cap, I will replace with bigger value /uf. It will more cooler the original value cap and last longer .
What was the original manufacturer for those capacitor. IS samsung using cheap capacitors? Those replacement nichikom/Panasonic are the best low esr.
Hi, I've seen a lot of vids about Samsung Tvs that won't post. I have a Samsung 50" LCD HDTV MODEL#: UN50EH5300FXZA. I haven't opened my tv yet to see what the problem is for sure. All I know is that the tv does not show any signs at all, no led's no clicking sounds just dead. Any ideas? And does this fix apply to these symptoms?
65" sanyo model # FW65D25T same issue , must restart sometimes 20 times to get picture, once on , beautiful picture.replaced t con board to no avail.now looking at capacitors , and all look good.any advice ?thanks in advance.
Hi I have a Insignia 46" model NS46E34A13 built in 2012 and power supply board is the model 715G5173-P02-W21-002M ;my TV issue is that takes time to turn on I have to plug and unplug the TV from the wall several times before I got to turn on the beginning it use to do it one or two times now with the time is taking 4 o more before I can make it work. I'd follow your video and take the back off the TV and after reviewing the capacitors they look fine there's none being inflated like the ones on the video do I missing something??? or maybe its another issue with the TV??? I got pictures I'd take that i can send you maybe you can see what i didn't I got some experience with electronics and soldering but in my visual inspection I didn't got anything I will appreciate your guidance if I can test the board in some other way I know how to use a multimeter and with your help I hope I can fix my TV before stops working.
Thank you in advance for your help
lyon65 Try all repairs and troubleshooting at your own risk. Since you have experience with a meter, I recommend checking for the 5 volt standby on the power supply. Thanks! www.shopjimmy.com
i gotta a Digihome think my Power supply is gone or going soon, gonna give this a go, the old Capacitor (changed many of these over the years) prone for Knitmemares
Nice DIY video.
But please please please do not re-melt the tin without adding som fresh with flux.
There are usually flux fused inside of the tin you buy on rolls, and that will help the tin flow and bind.
I work at a printboard factory, and it is a death sentence to re-melt tin without adding more flux.
As soon as the tin stops smoking, the flux has burned away and you need to add more.
This is my exact issue on a Samsung QLED 4K. Will this process work for my television as well?
Once you have tacked one lead on each cap, the cap cannot fall out. Straighten the other lead so it is no longer bent and then solder it. Then hold the first soldered lead with pliers, melt the tacked joint and straighten the bent lead. Then finish soldering that joint and cut the leads. In this way the caps will fall out next time you come to replace them. Better still, don't bend them in the first place. Instead place a pad of foam rubber/plastic under the board and put the board and caps down on that. The foam will hold the components in place without needing to bend any leads.
