VP930b Cap replacing

[Pepper]

i am literally a newbie and never touch a solder gun in my whole life before but now im going to try to fix an old monitor of mine by following the steps from this thread here
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5537

i am able to identify what i will need to get
1000uf 16v EEU-FC1C102
470 uf 35v EEU-FC1V471B-ND
220 uf 25v EEU-FC1E221

but i have no idea which i should get for the
100uf 400v capacitors
since im practically half a world away from America so i will be using a local website here in my country.
i dont know which one i should go for
im afraid if i put them in , it will screw up the PSU

Panasonic? since i cant find the FC series for it

Re: VP930b Cap replacing

Hi - You should not need to replace the BIG cap unless it is obviously swollen leaking or damaged.
You should be using a soldering iron 40 - 60 watt with a fairly fine point or chisel tip for changing capacitors.
You will also need either a desolder pump or some soldermop (braid) to remove old/excess solder.
You also need some flux.
Solder wire - get leaded if possible 60/40 with flux in it.

Practice soldering on an old electronics item if you have one or even just on pieces of wire.

There are number of videos on youtube or even links on this site - type soldering
into the search.

Re: VP930b Cap replacing

Sorry Missed your reply - Are you sure the Big cap is bulged - sometimes its just the plastic plate at the end - if you can press it in easily it is ok. If you can I would go for this one http://malaysia.rs-online.com/web/p/...itors/6997562/ much better ripple.
Solder- often expensive to buy on line because of the weight/postage. You wont need a lot try to get it locally but if not this should do

Re: VP930b Cap replacing

if only i had read your message earlier,
i might had saved some money

I had fix the VP930b replacing all the badcaps with panasonics except for the big cap which i uses rubycon.
i bought the solder lead 20 bucks more expensive than the one you suggested, if only i had read it earlier i would had just stick to yours

and since there's an RS in my country, the transport fee is free and often arrive the next working day.

none the less the VP930b is fix, so is my other monitor the VX1932wm
which both i am currently using atm. i'd replaced the caps wit hthe same uF but some with higher voltage from like 10v to 16v or 25v to 35v. their color calibration are bad since they have being with me for more than 4 years.

i am now going to tackle the t240 samsung which i will open a new thread soon since i cant identify the caps

thank you for your information and support.

Re: VP930b Cap replacing

On a personal note, I've recapped a few VP930b's with success, except for one I might have to go over. I've noticed a few Viewsonics that have had the plague bad.
