    Dell 24" monitor with bad cap...

    Hi Everyone,

    I hope someone can help me.

    I've got a Dell monitor that has a capacitor I am struggling to identify. It is 45mm long and between 10-15mm in diameter.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Based strictly on the black color and the PW(M) on the label - it could be the Nichicon PW series : https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...382925d157.pdf

    It should say on the other side of the capacitor more information - I would guess that it's around 220uF-330uF at about 250-450v (but again it's just a guess looking at the charts in the pdf and estimating the diameter, don't take my word for it).

      Several brands have a PW series and the specs don't jive between them.
      Nichicon PW are usually dark brown.
      So... What brand is it?

      Those usually don't need replaced anyway.
      Why do you think it's bad?

        Just revisited the monitor and found that it is an Elite 450V 120uF cap....

        I know it's bad because one of the legs has corroded and is detached from the body, there is a 0.12 ohm resistor just after this cap on the PCB that is cactus as well.

        Thanks for the fast replies too guys, much appreciated.

          This might work:

          If 18mm is too wide, you might have better luck with this part from eBay, it is only 16mm, but it's off brand so YMMV:

Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!'

            For reference the data sheet says that Elite is 18x45mm and Ripple is 740 mA @ 120Hz.
