(I had posted this as a reply to the Acer 1916W thread, retiredcaps kindly informed me that it would be more polite to create my own thread, so here it is. Badcaps, I have quoted your reply in the other thread and can remove it if need be. Right now, I will search for ripple and ESR specifications of the original caps in order to find a suitable replacement, as RetiredCaps' link suggested)
Howdy all,
I have an acer 2416W, same problem. Inverter board has 10 NKCON electrolytics, 4 of which are blown. I plan to replace all 10, just to be sure.
From what I've found here, NKCON is taiwanese maker: Nakama.
My particular caps read 35V 100uF and are labeled F2056 and EVL. Same dimension ratio, color scheme, and failure mode (top vent fine, bottom plug popping out) as those in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpos...7&postcount=88
Still haven't found a datasheet, but I'll keep looking.
Mine has 6 CCFL tubes, with a total 12 transformers all lined up in a row, very nice board layout, made by TDK. PN: TBD292LF You may have a similar board.
So, on to replacement.
I've read that I'm fine with any capacitor 35V and above, but that I should try to match the capacity, which was 100uF. My question is, are there any other specs I need to match, and how do I know what they are? I've seen ESR referenced, some kind of equivalent resistance value? How do I know what ESR would be best?
I'm very excited to be a member here, and I love the fix it yourself mentality, especially when one can get nice stuff for free that just needs new caps!
Well, off to do more reading! Thanks for any help you may have for my situation, and I hope I am not intruding too much in the OP's thread. After reading it, it looks like the OP and I have the same problem, more or less.
I happened to end up at that panasonic capacitor yesterday when I was browsing digikey!
That link to PCBONEZ' post, just what I was looking for, thanks RetiredCaps!
I'll be looking for a datasheet today and I'll post my findings here.
