Been reading a LOT on this forum, and its amazing. I have learned so much.. (and I'm a tech!)
Anyway, I have this 5 year old BenQ 24 inch.. was using the PC and I hear a sizzling sound, then POP! Won't power up at all.
Open the back, looked at all the caps--no bulges (but that doesn't mean much).. BUT, I find on the power supply board that the one big cap (the Elite 450 / 120μF)
I can visually see the acid (brown rust looking stuff) trying to ooze out. The board didn't have any on it thank god.. every thing looked fine..
Looks a LOT like this image:

It's about 2 inches long.. 1/2 inch thick.. big one.
Other text on it is:
Elite 450 / 120μF
PW (M) 105c
(C)0623
and PET is repeated along the side of the cap...
The "POP" was probably the fuse, right?
It's a 'white' ceramic fuse--hate that-- info is T4AH (and or TR601) / 250V
I have a volt meter, but what settings should I use to check the fuse? 250 volts..? I am totally new to caps and this stuff.. I can build a PC blind folded, and have fixed a PS3 with the no clean flux re-flow, but this is beyond me, and I need help. You guys are amazing, and I thank you for this forum, and its members.
I'm just in love with this BenQ.. its the old 16:10.. (I bought a new BenQ, but Its a 16:9) and I really do miss that inch. lol... so If I can get this up and running, I'll be running 3D MAX with 2 monitors..
or playing Battlefield 3..
Thank you!! If you need a picture of the cap, I can go open it back up and take some shots.. I have a good DSLR.
Thanks again!!!
