Fixed my Plasma TV

My Panasonic Plasma TV didn’t turn on.  Instead, it just flashed the power light 10 times over and over.  A quick Googling gave me THIS VIDEO that indicated which boards inside the TV were causing the fault, and what to do about it (two chips and a two 1uF capacitors).  A few other sites suggested it is only the caps causing the problem.

Since it didn’t work anyway, and since the extended warranty expired just last summer, I really had nothing to lose.  I happened to have a couple 1uF caps and a good soldering pencil.  I followed the video and took the thing apart, changed the capacitors, and lo and behold!  It worked!  Yay!
