    replacing capacitors help

    My hp vs 19 lcd monitor suddenly stopped working, eventually found the capacitors had blown. Ive orderd new capacitors but there is a difference in size and what series they are compared to the ones from my screen

    so the oringinal ones are (capxon 1000uf 10v kf 105 deg c p638 vent)
    orderd ones are electrolitic radial capacitor (ripcom 1000uf 10v sl 85 deg c ceo4w)

    my Question is- can i still use the ones i orderd even though the actual size of the capacitor is bigger, tempreture is lower and sl different from kf

    Im a complete newbie to this so appologies if i have missed something.

    any help please

    No and no you need 105C caps and not only that they need to be low ESR.

    I've never heard of the brand you purchased probably Chinese replacing crap with crap is a pure waste of time and energy.

    Brand wise look for Panasonic (Matsushita), Nippon Chemicon, Nichicon, or Samxon.

    Panasonic FC series is a good low ESR series for monitors.

    You should measure diameters, heights, and lead spacings of caps BEFORE ordering the cap series datasheets specify size of the can. The diameter and height is the most important. That's why there are multiple caps in the same series at the same capacitance and voltage with different part numbers.

    If the caps fit and the monitor cover goes on don't worry about the exact original size.

    Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.
