    Hi,

    I have a Lite-on R17AA monitor that was not working at all.
    after replacing 2 cap's that looked damaged to me, the monitor came back to life, but sais "No Signal Input".
    what should i check more? i really want to learn how to fix it

    here's the old cap's near the new cap's that i ordered:




    here's the bad cap's before the replacement:


    this is the board after the replacement:








    thank you,
    Oren.

    If it worked fine before you had to change the caps, and now says no signal, the first thing to do is ensure that all plugs etc have been replaced correctly.It is very easy to bend pins,fail to sit them properly etc etc..and it happens regularly, even to very experienced Members.You also need to use the 'manage attachments' facility to show the Photos.

      Replace all the caps of whatever brand the bad ones were.
      They need to be low ESR caps.
      GP caps either won't work or won't last long.

        i couldn't find how to edit my first post so i uploaded the pictures to this post.

        Rtech,
        the monitor was dead before the recap. only after the recap i got the "no sifnal" message.
        i checked all the plugs. tried to pull them out and plug them in again, everything sits fine.
        sorry about the pictures, i uploaded them again now.

        PCBONEZ,
        the brand of the original caps were capXon so i replaced them with new Radial Electrolytic caps found on eBay
        because i heard that capXon made bad caps.
        there's a lot of caps, you want me to replace them all?!

        thank you,
        Oren.

          In simple terms you replaced known crap with unknown garbage. The best Chinese made caps have a bad reputation for reliability. The ones you used are most likely NOT low ESR. While it's difficult to believe, they could be worse that the Capxon originals (yes, there are caps worse than Capxon).

          The general reputation of the caps sold on eBay is not good. The off brands are usually crap, the name brands are often counterfeit.

          It is suggested you edit your profile to indicate where you live. That makes it easier to recommend sources for parts. In the US, Digikey is a preferred vendor, offering excellent prices, rapid shipping, and low shipping charges. There shipping charges to other countries range range from High ($6.00 for Canada) to Exorbitant ($30 to Australia) to Outrageous ($120 to Croatia).

            Did you hookup a working computer with your favourite wallpaper to the lcd?

            No signal will come on if there is no source attached after a few seconds.

              The size of the can of those replacements, while not conclusive, is a strong indicator that they have higher ESR and lower Ripple capability than the originals.

              And yes, you should replace all the Capxon.
              If some are gone the rest aren't far behind.

              Capxon makes a lot of different series [models].
              Some have very low ESR and some just barely. [Or not at all.]
              Will need the series name[s] and diameters [and sometimes length] to actually spec them.
