    HP LCD monitors VS17e replacing bad CAPS

    I have 6 HP VS17e LCD monitors that all have bad caps. The caps are all from CapXon. They appear to be model P548 vent. They are marked with 1000uF 10v KF. I'm assuming the KF is the series. My problem is that I don't want to use the same brand. I can't seem to find the exact match regarding the KF series. Can I just use a similar capacitor from a good brand like panasonic or rubycon? How important is matching the series?

    You don't need to exactly match the specifications of the original capacitor to make your monitors work again. All you need is a high-quality capacitor with similar specifications.

    I suggest the Nichicon PW series capacitor, the CapXon KF capacitor is low impedance for switching power supplies, so is Nichicon PW.

    For a 1000uf 10V replacement capacitor, a Nichicon PW series capacitor would actually be slightly better than CapXon KF. Also, dimensions are the exact same (10x16mm).

    CapXon KF 1000uf 10V 10x16mm:
    Ripple: 1040mArms
    Impedance: 0.076Ω (20°C 100kHz)

    Nichicon PW 1000uf 10V 10x16mm:
    Ripple: 1050mArms
    Impedance: 0.068Ω (20°C 100kHz)

    Nichicon PW can handle slightly more ripple and has slightly lower impedance than CapXon KF.

    If you are in the USA, Digikey carries the capacitor you need: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...me=493-1746-ND

    Digikey is very good, orders are processed and shipped very fast, and shipping times are also very fast.

        ...and another lcd gets capxon'd...

        why do so many lcd displays have capxon? its just bugging me out that one specific brand would be widespead in such a specifc application.

          I guess that CapXon has caps for a lower price than other capacitor manufacturers, probably that's what attracts Chinese LCD monitor manufacturers.

            but then why do you not see them in mobos? once in a while on cards/psu boxes, but not as widespread as lcd tvs and monitors.
