Acer 2216W Attacked by Bloaters

[Trinite]

I received an Acer 2216W that was not working. So I open it up suspecting the usual, and lo and behold it has 7 bloated Crapxons on the PSU/inverter board.

Time to order some replacements and I will update this when I get the parts. Here is what I found:

2x 1000uf 25v 10mm(d) x 20mm(h) [Bloated]
3x 220uf 25v 8mm(d) x 12mm(h) [Bloated]
1x 2200uf 10v 12mm(d) x 20mm(h) [Bloated]
1x 1000uf 10v 10mm(d) x 15mm(h) [Bloated]
1x 330uf 25v 8mm(d) x 15mm(h)
1x 22uf 50v 5mm(d) x 10mm(h)

All capacitors are Capxon, and I figure it best to replace them all, even the ones that are not bloated (except the input capacitor).

Wow... What a bunch of fatties! Just the way I like them (on a LCD power board)....

Replace them all except the big one,so you can avoid reopening the unit in the *near* future.

Recap is finished, monitor works. Replaced all the Capxon with Nichicon and Chemicon.

Capxon seems to be the "kill your monitor just after the 3 year warranty expires" capacitor of choice...
