Fumbling my way through another attempted tv repair for a friend (I'm 2 for 2 so far!).
I have some burned up blue round ceramic disc capacitors that I can't seem to find a replacement for.
(have checked digikey, mouser, ebay, etc.) Came across other message board posts about not being able to find them, but no substitutions.
They are 54pF 6Kv.
From what I can tell, these just provide some extra oomph to turn the backlight on.
Looks like this has happened over time. The one for the bottom light looks burnt, the one for the upper light is just lightly toasted.
Can I get away with just using one with more capacitance or running two 27pF caps in parallel?
How much bigger could I go. Having trouble finding anything even comparable to 54pF.
