That blown cap is likely it. Replace that board. Leaving it in service can blow out other boards.
Hello,
Make: Samsung
Type: Plasma
Model: PN50B450B1D

I have multicolored thin vertical lines that appear on all inputs, over the menu and test screen. I have tried to clean the ribbons, updating the firmware and resetting the picture.
The tv also clicks 2-3 times before starting up and has a blown capacitor on the power board.
Anyone have any advice or tips on where to start?
Cheers,
Tom
