    Capacitor compatibility - noob

    I recently had my LG L204WT monitor fail on my, and it's clear that at the very least some of the capacitors are bad (bulging/bloated). So now I need to find some replacement ones, which is where I'm having problems.


    This is what it listed on the side of the capacitors {they are all Samxon GF(M) 105°C8}:
    V7A 1000uF 16v
    V8A 1000uF 16v
    V5A 1000uF 25v
    V8A 680uF 25v (Two of these)

    I've tried searching for these, but haven't come up with any specific details, as to what it directly compatible. I have seen quite a few full kits, specifically for this monitor, but they list the V7A and V8A, as the same. I say they list them as the same, only because they specify a difference between the 25v and 16v ones, where it includes two 16v ones. Seeing as the part number is clearly different, I'm assuming they should in fact not be the same if I purchased new.

    Via a Sticky on here, I found the technical info on the Samxon GF series of capacitors (Here), but it's way over my head. I suppose what I'm really wondering is if anyone has any specific experience with this brand and series or capacitors, and could point me in the right direction, to find replacements. Even a company name and series, would be very helpful.

      Ok, so I just have to match up the uF, volts, size, and shape? Then just pick the brand and series, and that's it?

      Thank you very much for the response.

        Almost - you must get low esr caps from a reliable seller. Panasonic FR FM FC from digikey.

        Badcaps.net only sells low esr caps. so guess its safe to say any he has with the
        correct voltage uf and size will be good.

        You can also go smaller in size with the same V and uf (Some newer caps are smaller)
