My friend gave me this free monitor cause it's just been sitting in his house since December, 2007. Manufacture date is September, 2005.
It wouldn't power on at all so I figured it HAD to be dead Chinese capacitors...I'll upload some pictures later but on the main PCB, there are about 5 dead Samxon's. 4 of them are 470uf 25V and the other is a 220uf 25v. The other Samxon's aren't bulging but I'd like to replace them too. There are 6 that aren't bulging...
The main cap is a NCC I think all I can read is KM(M)
I'm still kind of a noob so I'm not sure what exactly to replace them with, I was browsing Digi key but there are a lot of options to pick. Would it just be easier to get them here straight off of Badcaps? I know Samxon can make some good caps but this must be a bad series. They're GF(M).
Also, on the other PCB (where the VGA/DVI is, I'll post pics later) all the caps are Yec, I've heard these caps are pretty terrible, but they all look okay and they are
220uf, 16V
47uf, 16V
10uf, 16V
These seem like they have a pretty simple and easy job though. All the caps Yec and Samxon are rated at 105C
Thanks for any help, I REALLY appreciate it!
