Hey all,
I've been lurking around this forum for the last two weeks as I have recently become interested in repairing dead monitors, and after successfully repairing an emachines monitor with bulging caps, my inexperience got the best of me with an Acer AL1916W. I got two from my corporate office, one dead and one working fine. After replacing the smaller caps on the dead monitor's power supply, I still have a dead monitor. The power LED light doesn't light up at all. I swapped PSU's with the good monitor and it works fine, so at least I've narrowed it down to the PSU. The only capacitor I didn't replace was the big 100uF 450v su'scon. When the PSU is plugged in, I get no voltage from the leads of the large cap with my volt meter. Should I replace the large cap or is there something else that would be causing my woes?
Thank you for any help!
