    Capacitor problems with LCD's

    Hi,

    I was wondering if the newer LCD monitors out there, 2009, 2010 era are being built with the same radial aluminum capacitors as the ones built in 2006, 2007? Just wondering if they are having the same problems with capacitor failure.

    Thanks!

    The standard Power Supply ones etc, will continue to be used,and of course will continue to fail over time.The interesting part is what effect the LED monitors will have on the timescale,if any.

      Re: Capacitor problems with LCD's

      So the manufacturers aren't doing anything about the capacitor problem? It's a necessary evil that must be used in all of the power supplies? I was wondering if there's something on the horizon that might replace the aluminum radial capacitors.

      I guess it's in the manufacturers best interests to continue to use them as they need to continue to sell monitors.

      The LED's don't use the same power supply?

        We have only seen one on here, and that does not tell much at the moment.

          Failing caps are not a necessary evil. There are several brands / series that are known to be reliable. Note that failing caps are not new. Back in the '70's I had a 5 year old color TV with obvious '60 Hz ripple'. Currently there are two technologies available that would reduce or eliminate the problem. Panasonic, Sanyo, UCC, etc. are already producing superior caps. Polymer caps are another (more expensive) solution.

          As long as the consumer is more interested in price or 'gee whiz' features than in durability the manufacturers have little incentive to put an extra $2.00 into better parts.

          Monitors with LED backlights will still use the same SMPS design, the only difference will be the lack of an inverter.

            LED panels promise less heat. Less heat means cheap caps last longer. If the caps last longer then cheaper ones can be used.

              I dunno. I don't think LEDs are that much cooler than CCFLs, a bit maybe. LEDs are usually cool, but in today's new applications where they're a major light source, not just an indicator, they run much hotter than they used to.
              'course thats just my speculation, I don't have any LED stuff here yet.

              They'll definitely less complex as there are no high voltage inverters required.
              I agree with Bill, the SMPS is here to stay, and will continue to eat caps, especially as the monitor/TV case designs get thinner.

              I have a Panasonic Plasma as my main TV, it's really thin. The other day I was complaining about how much the sound sucks, then I realized there's no place to put any kind of decent speaker in it, and they're in the back.

              Conversely, all of the AV receivers are huge, and I haven't found one that will live with my Sat receiver without taking over the living room.

                I don't have one, but have admired the more "musical" sounding receivers brands like Marantz, H/K, NAD.

                    Think about failing cap's, if the manufactures didn't have a problem with them failing, we would be replacing inverter transformers and small I.C's and backlights.
                    I get a big grin whenever I open up a monitor up and see all those domed capacitors.
                    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

                      ^same here.
                      it's a PITA if something really expensive or complicated is wrong..
                      like my Samsung 223BW..
                      no bad caps (replaced them anyways), all voltages there and stable, all voltage regulators on the LCD controller board check fine and so do all the diodes, but it's still dead as a rock..

                      oh how i wish that it just had bad caps as most of the other samsungs i've fixed
                      dunno what to do with it. can't even use the panel for another 22" monitor because the 223BW is advertised as 22", but the panel is actually just a 21.6", so you would end up seeing the metal frame on a "real" 22" monitor... craaaap -.-

                        It does bring up an interesting dichotomy. I can understand the typical consumer complaining because their $300 17" LCD monitor died after 3 years. I'm sure their pain will be lessened by the fact they can buy a 23" wide screen replacement for under $150.

                        It is a little less easy to understand someone who repairs monitors for income complaining how easy it is to fix most of them.

                            Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                            I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                            I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                            Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                            It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                            So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).

                            I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
                            I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

                            And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.

                            When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                            Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                            But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.

                            by chth96
                            a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
                            I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
                            Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
                            Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
