Hello, to all.
I have finally repaired one of the displays that I was working on.
I had low batteries in the Cap Analyzer and did not know the results I was getting was miss-leading. The low battery warning finally sounded. So I replaced the batts. Next checking some previoully removed caps I reallized that the Cap Analyzer batts had been low for a while. The caps that had previously had tested near good were now testing bad with high esr.
Wow how long had it been that way. What a difference the new batts made.
The display had three bad bulging caps that tested high esr. One even tested near good but out of circuit showed high esr. They were replaced and the display is now working good. They were Elite brand 470uF 25v. Replaced with 470uF 35v Panasonic. I don't know how good the Panasonic caps are but I will leave the monitor on for a couple of days to see how they do.
Has anyone else had this experiance with low batts giving miss-leading results.
