    Samsung 226bw

    Hi there all,

    I have a Deadish Samsung Syncmaster 226bw. The blue power light flickers when i turn it on and the screen remains blank. Sometimes if i'm lucky it turns on, sometimes it doesn't. It can often take a whole day to get going. I mentioned this problem to a guy at work and he suggested i could try replace the caps. I have no electronics knowledge or background but i just opened it to have a look. It appears a number of caps are bulging.

    When i look at them, here is what i see (pics below)
    C317 - Fine (820uf 25v, P729 Vent)
    C318 - Bulging (820uf 25v, P729 Vent)

    C105 Big Sideways one looks fine (105c , 7273h, CD206)

    C111 -Bulging (820uf 25v, P729 Vent)
    C112 -Bulging (820uf 25v, P729 Vent)
    C113 -Bulging, smaller one (GL 105c, C7292)
    C114 -Bulging (820uf 25v, P729 Vent)

    I feel a little out of my league but if you guys think i should be fixable i might give it a try.

    I found another thread on here that suggested these caps for the big and small ones. Should i go ahead and order something like this? Was thinking of leaving that big Bertha one as it looks ok?

    C110 820uF 25v GL 105 °C C646 VENT 10mm D x 20mm H EEU-FM1E821L *
    C111 820uF 25v GL 105 °C C646 VENT 10mm D x 20mm H EEU-FM1E821L *
    C112 330uF 25v GL 105 °C C638 VENT 10mm D x 15mm H EEU-FM1E331

    1) This is fixable. When the cap is bloated, its ESR (ohms) value is very high. When the cap warms up, its ESR value drops. This is why sometimes the monitor will work after being left on for "a while".

    It looks like the original caps are Capxon. Capxon is easily one of the worst capacitor brands since they don't last very long. The P729 indicates it was probably made in 2007 week 29. Most members here recommend replacing Capxon on sight.

    2) Replace ALL the electrolytic capacitors except the largest one which rarely, but not never, fails. This includes the one that look fine because capacitors die from age, heat, and shoddy build quality. Capacitors DO NOT have to be visibly bloated in order to bad. They can be out of tolerance uF (a 1000uF measures 20uF) and/or have high ESR (ohm). A multimeter will be insufficient to test for ESR. For that you need an ESR tester which costs between $50 and $300.

    Most members here will recommend that you replace ALL capacitors with reputable brands from reputable sellers. Brands like Rubycon, Panasonic, and United Chemicon are suggested. A list of recommended caps can be found at

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2280

    3) The part numbers above EEU-FM ... all indicate Panasonic FM low ESR series caps. These are good caps to use in a SMPS application and you can use them as replacements providing they fit height and diameter wise.

    You can order Panasonic caps from digikey by following PlainBill's instructions at

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...33&postcount=2

    As a "shortcut" click "in stock" and type in "820uf 25v fm" into the digikey search field. This will quickly narrow down your selection versus the number of clicks in PlainBill's instructions.

    Panasonic FR has slightly better specs than FM on some cap values so you may want to choose FR first, FM second, and FC third.

    4) If you have never soldered or replaced caps, see

        HP Inkjet printer main board bulging cap failure
        by howardc64
        Fixed a 10yo HP inkjet with a bulging cap on the digital computer power rails (1 to 5V). Unstable voltages causing these inkjets to not boot properly or crash quickly. Seems like more and more of these are showing up nearing the 10 year mark. Board design seem to look similar for many of these printers.

        Slightly Bulging Capacitors
        by Hitto
        Would you consider a slightly bulging capacitor defective if it measures perfectly and it is brand-new? To be honest, they are all equally like this: vent is not totally flat but they have very low E.S.R. and VLOSS is negligible.

        So, everything seems perfect apart from the vent looking a bit "strange". They are genuine capacitors, BTW.

        The bad thing is that they are 400V capacitors so testing them just to check how much they last would mean using them on the primary of a power supply, which means the risk of damaging the whole circuit.

        What do you...

        Denon AVR-X2000 mainboard caps bulging
        by re-atari
        I have been using a Denon AVR-X2000 receiver in my living room for several years now, works perfectly, am very pleased with it. Recently I acquired another one, advertised as defective with flashing red led a few seconds after switching on. Picked it up to try repair and use in hobby room. After switching on, the on/off indicator led indeed initially flashes green for about 2 seconds, during which the display is visible, and then starts flashing red (at 2Hz) with a switched off display.

        I'm afraid the service manual is too large to upload here (55Mb), it can be found at https:/...

        Screen bulging/separating from frame a bit on Surface Pro 5
        by paparazzo79
        Hi guys.
        I purchased this tablet in used condition from a guy claiming nothing wrong is with it.
        While I was cleaning the tablet I noticed this (pics) at the top edge of the tablet.It is barely visible,maybe crack is like 1mm wide or so, and I can see probably yellow glue stains.
        Now I read about all nasty stuff about battery bulging and causing screen to separate on Surface Pro 4.
        Is that even in my case?
        Or someone replaced the screen,and didn't use a proper glue.
        Gosh,it just made me depressed and worried even more,cuz I'm perfectionist (OCD).

        An Xbox One PSU Odyssey

        Firstly I am not a tech. You guys may see mistakes or oversights in my methods so don't be bashful and feel free to post corrections/opinions.

        =>Background:
        I bought my son a used Xbox One original model: A12-220N1A Rev: 02 with original PSU & 2 controllers 7 years ago. I “modded” the unit placing a 4.5” 12V exhaust fan with a 9v wall wart adapter on top of the vent/fan of the unit. And plugged the Xbox PSU into a Tripplite LTR-600 voltage regulator. Also connected to the Tripplite are a 275w computer tower, an Xbox 360 PSU and a Westinghouse 52” LED TV. ...
