        My high school had a shitload of those Samsung Syncmaster 906BW monitors. I don't think they are worth the cost of replacement caps. I would have liked to see them all start dying, but I graduated before that happened. There would be dark streaks to the right of any objects being displayed, but none completely died.

          Hmm, other than one measly, hardly noticeable dead pixel, this one's been rock solid/razor sharp for better than four years now (well aside from the caps). Never had any ghosting issues ever. Wow, many variables to consider. Non-owner users (students), possible lower end video, bulk lots vs. retail? I bought mine as a floor model, DVI, always leave the lamp powered on for at least an hour before turning it off, etc. Maybe I got lucky? Wait, I'm glad I got lucky, I never get lucky!

          Well if they are getting rid of them, send some my way!!!!

            I've pulled several dead CapXons from monitors... pretty damn useless brand in my opinion.

              Just recapped a couple of Bestec power supplies. One had CapXon caps and the other had Jamicon caps. As a comparison of esr:

              2200 uF/16 volts Jamicon was .04, Capxon was .01

              two of each 1000 uF/16 volts Jamicon was .09, Capxon was .03

              Most of the small caps 22 uF and less, Capxon was just a little less than Jamicon on most of them.

              Capxon versus Jamicon...........Capxon wins!

                Doesn't Jamicon only do GP caps though?

                  d#$m, my vieusonic lcd tv is full of the crapxons. and the tv don't work. I'm going to replace the 2 that are blotted on my power supply, hopefully just these 2 are the reason

                    No, ALL of them are the reason, because CapXon are junk.

                    Replace ALL of them, or the TV will just fail in another 5 minutes and you'll have to replace more. You won't save much money by only replacing 2 of them now - and you'll waste more of your time when the rest die.

                    Just replace the lot now and you won't have to worry about it again.

                      But, LCD monitors seem to get hot inside and they usually don't at least have a tiny fan, so even Rubycons could get fried lol.

                        Re: Capxon Capacitors?

                        Hello guys,

                        this is my first time on this forum, quite useful!

                        I'm trying to repair the dvd reader Sharp dv-sv92: it cannot be switched on. I detected the problem in the stdby switching TNY267PN. I replaced it, all ok, but during the functioning I touched the top of the capXon cap (4,7uF400V) and it was red-hot! It seems to be very week!

                        Now, there is another cap with the same characteristics and both are part of the power supply section of the dvd reader. Do you suggest to replace even the other cap? Which cap brand can I use for this application?

                        Thank you very much,

                        BR, Francesco

                          If that capacitor was really red hot, the problem is most likely somewhere else - probably there's a short or too much voltage through that capacitor that shorts or kills the small capacitor.

                          Simply replacing the capacitor may not solve the issue.

                          Create a separate thread with your issue and post pictures there - someone may be able to give you more advice based on the position of the capacitor and the components around it.

                            If the capacitor's ESR has increased then it will heat up more, so it may be a faulty capacitor, or they picked one with ESR too high for that circuit in the first place.

                            Or they picked one which couldn't handle the ripple in the first place.

                            And\Or it's being heated up by something else nearby

                              I think they are decent in PSU's. Not good or bad, just meh. Better than Canicon...holy hell

                                  Howdy all, newbie here and I cant start my own topic on this, but, I have an older samsung monitor with some bad capxon caps. I need 3 470uf, 25v and 2 1000uf 10 caps. What would be a better brand name and a good place to get them? Thanks! Tom

                                    You can make your own thread in the computer display section. I've fixed a few Samsung monitors, and I usually use nichicon PW, Chemi-Con KY, Panasonic FC. But create your own thread so we can help you there
