They are made of an insulation and two metal wires.

When you see them, have a pair of pliers, and separate them from the TV. Next, place the capacitors, which you can buy for the price of bread in a store, in the right place and with the help of a welder, assemble them to your THOMSON 32HD5506 Smart TV. Wait a few minutes for the capacitors to cool down.
And now, the colors work again!
