    Samsung SyncMaster 920N problems

    Hello to all and greetings from Greece.

    I am new at this so bear with me on my first post.

    I have not one not two but three SyncMaster 920N in my possession and they all have a problem. The funny think is that the boards inside are not the same. The two with the MJ19BS board have the 2 seconds to off problem (in my case 0.5 seconds) and the third one with another board has a blinking led problem.

    After i read many post on this problems i decided to give it a try in fixing them.

    First of all i will have to change all the electrolytic caps on the three boards but i would like your help in checking if my replaces are correct.

    The caps on the MJ19BS board are
    C 607 SAMXON KM 47uF 25V V3A / 105C / C6
    Replacement PANASONIC FR 47uF 25V EEUFR1E470

    C611,612,614,615SAMXON GF 100uF 16V V2A / 105C / C6
    Replacement Not found. If you could help please. No Panasonic with this ripple current

    C 605 CAPXON KM 100uF 450V C616 / 105C / VENT
    Replacement Not found. If you could help please. No Panasonic with this capacity in 450V

    C 617 CAPXON KF 470uF 25V C612 / 105C / VENT
    Replacement PANASONIC FR 470uF 25V EEUFR1E471

    The caps in the other board are
    C 303,304 CAPXON ST 33uF 25V ST / 105C / C624
    Replacement PANASONIC KS 33uF 25V ECEA1EKS330

    C 109,110 CAPXON KM 1000uF 10V C622 / 105C / VENT
    Replacement PANASONIC FR 1000uF 10V EEUFR1A102L

    C 111 CAPXON GL 820uF 25V C622 / 105C / VENT

    I'm not sure what vendor you are using and I have no idea whether

    http://uk.farnell.com/

    is suitable for Greece or not, but Farnell has many choices for 100uF 450V from Nichicon, Rubycon, Panasonic, and United Chemicon.

    As for choosing replacements, PCBONEZ talks about it here

      Thank you very much retiredcaps, i have no vendor yet because its my first attempt in repairing such thinks, and the local stores i used to buy supplies for my school projects don't have so much variety. I found digikey and RS from the FAQ but uk.farnell seems good to.
      I choose Panasonic because i know the name, but if the others are quality caps to i don't have a problem with the brand. Any of the above brand will do?

          Well after a lot of waiting and two vendors (digikey and mouser) i have collected the caps i wanted and have started repairing the monitors. The one of two with the MJ19BS board is working just fine. The second one started fine (no 2 seconds to off) but after 2-3 minutes the the image went all wrong (i will post an image for you to see what i mean). If i leave the monitor over night not connected the next day it does the same (first ok and after 2-3 minutes bad image
          Any ideas?

              Are any of the logic boards the same in the monitors?
              Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

                From one to another, I would measure output voltages when cold vs. warm and see if there is any unstable voltages after it warms up, might give a clue where to start. Also you could swap boards with on of the working ones, just to verify what board the problem really lies on. Being new at this myself, I was recently thinking I had a power supply problem on a completely dead screen and it ended up being the logic board. ...my 2 cents...
