    Our panasonic 32" LCD TV has all nichicon and rubycon in it. It's a shame that panasonic doesn't make many computer monitors!!!

        The Orion CRT TVs aren't that good. They might use good caps, but one of the caps in the vertical section is always located next to a group of resistors that run hot enough to darken the board. This causes the TV to develop vertical foldover and eventually kill the vertical deflection IC if the cap isn't replaced. This fault exists in every model of CRT TV Orion has ever made.

        My parents used to have two Orion-built Sansui CRT TVs. The picture and sound are good, but they both had foldover. My dad decided that the larger of the two wasn't worth repairing and let it die. After seeing how terrible modern LCD TVs are, I replaced the one bad cap in the other TV.

            Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
            by keepread
            Hi there!
            Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
            The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
            Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

            Hanns.G Hi221 Monitor - Works For A Second & Then Blank Display
            by RetroComputingGrotto
            I've got a Hanns.G Hi221 Monitor that works for a moment and then the display goes off but the power LED indicator remains on. If you power it off and back on again it does the same thing, it comes on and then the display goes blank. From a cold start it takes 10 seconds or so before the display goes blank but if you turn it off and then back on again after it already being on it goes blank a lot quicker so I'm assuming something is getting hot which is causing the display to go off.

            I've uploaded a video of it happening on YouTube:

            HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
            by momaka
            Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

            Asus G15 5980HX - 6800M - No Display on Laptop - HDMI/Display Port external monitor works fine. Fried Component.
            by amuse619
            Hello!
            Looks like I fried something when my EDP cable got squeezed on the hinge. I replaced the cable but still no display. Laptop works fine with external monitor connected through HDMI and Display Port-USB C port. I took it apart and I see a burnt component. Can anyone help me identify what this component is? I tried to use schematics for another G15 but it does not match on the amount of pins and size. I attached pictures. The component has a label on it - (21A29)

            Laptop is a Asus G15 Advantage Edition 2021 Laptop Ryzen 9 5980HX - 6800M...

            Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54. displays on the external monitor and works fine, the issue is NO display on the internal screen
            by DqMagetz
            Good day!
            I have a customer's laptop — Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 (EH5VF - LA-H501P). It has a display on the external monitor and it's working fine, but the issue is NO display on the internal screen. I already replaced the eDP cable and checked the LCD connector pins.

            Here are the voltage readings:
            • Input – 19V (stable)
            • +LCDVDD – 3.3V briefly, then drops to 0V
            • EDP_HPD – 3.3V briefly, then drops to 0V
            • PCH_BKL_PWM – 2.2–5V briefly, then drops to 0V
            • EC BKOFF# – 1.8V briefly, then drops to 0V
            • PANEL_OD_EN – 0.3V

            Is it possible that the EC chip is corrupted or damag...
