Model dt 250 A will not turn on. Red on odd jewell light flickers when trying to turn the box on by remote or manually. Also lately when it did work it will not hold when commanded to stop closed caption. Caption goes off but returnes within minutes.

If it's showing the same symptoms, probably.. You'll have to check the rating of the capacitors on the board, but if they are the same as stated, this fix should work for you. Many appliances have had this capacitor issue. There was a run of them done and released on the market. Apparently there was an incomplete mix of the liquid inside the cap. Something to do with stolen formulas.. anyway if you have a bulging or cracked capacitor this is your fix. :) If it's showing the same symptoms, probably..

Thank you so much, Szieve! I have two Apex DTCs, both of which had stopped working a couple of months ago. After reading your post, I popped the top of one of them, took a close look, and lo and behold one of the capacitors had a beautifully domed top (versus flat like the rest). I open up the other Apex DTC, and sure enough, yet another blown capacitor. A quick trip to Radio Shack...salesman points me in the right direction...grab a couple 470uf 35v capacitors ($1.49 each)...dig out my old rusty soldering kit...and before I know it, two previously bricked DTCs are as good as new, maybe even better! The hardest part in the whole process was finding my old soldering kit! Thanks, not only for the solution to my problem, but for a new-found confidence! Can't wait for my next project!!
