Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
No.
I didn't say anything that remotely conflicts with post 40.
.
The point was even mediocre caps last a butt-ton longer than the Load Life rating so worrying about the Load Life rating is STILL a WASTE OF TIME.
.
IOW: Worrying about the Load Life rating is ALWAYS a waste of time.
.
Anyone that actually knows what that spec is would know that.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
Not necessarily.
I rather doubt the 45 year old caps in my old Ford's original AM radio are 105C and they are probably not a Jap brand either.
And ya know what... It still works fine.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
A number of manufacturers give equations to get from Load Life to LifeSPAN.
[Which further shows they are not the same thing.]
The problem is those equations are only good to +/-40%. (Some of them state this when they give the equation.)
So, you do all the math and come up with 10 years. (10-20 years would be typical.)
It -really- means: "somewhere between 6 and 14 years".
- NOT USEFUL for any PRACTICAL purpose.
Anyone with any experience knows quality brand 105C caps last 10, 15, 20 or more years.
The equipment will be obsolete before the caps are even close to wearing out.
- That is REGARDLESS of their Load Life rating.
Thus - worrying about the Load Life rating is A WASTE OF TIME.
~~~
That said:
Temp changes the Load Life and LifeSPAN by the same percent.
[This is because temp is in the same place in both correction equations.]
So: If you double Load Life the you also double LifeSPAN.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
And to think so is inherently stupid.
.
Do you ~really~ think the LifeSPAN of Rubycon MBZ is only 2000 hrs?
- That's only 83 days.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
The rating is in fact a lifespan at 105C. It is designated as both "Load life" and "Shelf life" in the spec sheet, but don't take my word for it
If the CapXcon capacitors in my monitor were operating outside or on the edge of their rating then they clearly weren't suitable for the task to which they were purposed. Regardless the caps failed as evidenced by my effective repair by replacement. If you would like I'll bag up the old caps and mail them off to you so you can evaluate them with your ESR meter to validate my findings but I expect it'd just be a waste of time for us both.
What is obvious to me is that a capacitor with 10x the rated endurance of another capacitor with identical operating specifications should last 10x as long under identical conditions regardless of who the manufacturer is or what name has been given to the model.
I'm a grumpy old fart myself and nothing makes me feel more grumpy than someone making bad assumptions in a condescending tone with random capitalization.
Sorry to hijack your thread AloofOne, good luck with your monitor.Leave a comment:

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
It has NOTHING to do with how long the caps are expected to last in normal use.
.
It is how many hours you can run the cap at Max Temp -and- Max Volts -and- Max Ripple Current (all at the same time) -and- NOT have the cap go out of spec.
.
.
It should be obvious that it isn't LifeSPAN as Rubycon MBZ, MCZ and Nichicon HM, HN, HZ are -all- rated for 2000 hrs.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
Temperature definately influences capacitor endurance. With 4 CF tubes packed into about half a cubic foot things get pretty hot! I've installed a quiet fan to circulate/induct air through the chassis, hopefully this extends the life of my replacements.
The data sheet from CapXon indicates the same number of hours for shelf life as operating life. When I compare these to other makes/lines with up to 20k hours of service life they just don't seem like worthwhile components for anything but a disposable camera.Leave a comment:

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
I have an IF281D that was exhibiting similar symptoms. Periodic black outs with increasing frequency preceded by shimmering text at the top of the screen and an occasional ghost image displaced horizontally. For a time I averted the black screen problem by removing the shroud and directing a high powered fan at the electronics on the back.
Based on the visual artifacts I discounted the possibility of inverter/back light failure and recapped the input logic board. So far the repair seems to be successful.
The CapXcon caps on my logic board were KM and ST series which are rated for a meager 1000 hrs and 2000 hrs respectively the lower of which approximates the three year warranty period on this monitor. I suspect a case of planned obsolecense.
Good luck with your repair I'll wager a recap sets things right.
One point: many people misinterpret the 'hours' rating for caps. A cap rated for 1000 hours at 105°C is good for 2000 hours at 95°C, 4000 hours at 85°C, etc. Since it is very unusual for consumer electronics to be running at a temperature above 55°C, a 1000 hour rating isn't bad. Again, it's the quality of the manufacturer, not the hour rating that is important.

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
Try this - Hook several long wires to the power supply outputs, then lead them outside the case when you reassemble it. Make sure they are not in any position to be damaged by being squeezed against the case!! See if the power supply fails when the power LED goes out. Or of course, you could always send it to me.But I really think you can at least isolate it to one board.

Also i forgot to mention i also plugged the inverter board alone with the other boards minus the t-con and it powered on for about 20mins, then i just unplugged it slightly angry and very confused.Leave a comment:

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
I ran a volt test on the monitor today hooking up the video/signal board with the powerbaord and control panel. i couldn't get monitor to power off for me with just these 2 boards connected. I did how test the 5vsb on the signal card and it seemed fine. i tested it by turn the tv on and off with the power button.Leave a comment:

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
I wouldn't know because i've never tried a test like that yet. I will test the monitor tomorrow to see if i get a drop in voltage. i'm assuming i need to have everything hooked up but be able to take readings while turning the monitor on correct?Leave a comment:

Re: I-Inc IF281D Display Problem
To answer your question bill i powered the monitor on first blue light came on then it went into standby (Orange light). Then i plugged my HDMI into the monitor and powered on the playstation. The monitor reacted and the blue light came back on shortly after followed by a picture.
After 2 minutes of working perfectly with sound it shut off completely. No power light no orange light, no blue light ,no light at all on the bottom right corner. Like someone just unplugged it.
I tried turning it back on but it wouldn't power on until maybe the 3rd or 4th try after leaving it alone for a minute or so which didn't last more then 1- 5 secs.
Here is a photo of when the monitor first powered on. After change the resolution the screen looked fine. If have any other questions i'd be happy to answer them. Right now i'm puzzled as to where the problem area is.
If the standby power supply (5V_SB) stays good when the monitor shuts down, it's almost certainly the signal card. If 5V_SB drops, it's definitely the power supply.

by AskicHello to all,
I have a problem with monitor that is delivered together with CCTV system.
The monitor appears to be completely dead, there is no LED power diode and it doesn't react to pressed power button.
I have disconnect display and check many components on the power supply part of the board. There is no anything obvious and monitor is about 3 years old. There are no bulged caps. When measuring voltages on the output connector to VGA board I can measure stable 14.5 V on 12V pins and stable 5.07V on 5V pins. So I assumed that this part of the board is OK....-

by CptChronicI have an intermittent display problem with my monitor, when I plug in the HDMI cable to my (or any) laptop, you see the connection screen shrink on the laptop as it usually would before displaying on the monitor but 95% of the time the monitor display stays black.
Before it cut out all together, tapping the monitor control button a fair few times would make the screen display, and everything work fine.
But now it never does it. Not sure what's going on, hoping someone can help. I'm capable of stripping the thing down and soldering in new parts if needed, or programming...-

by tmhobadcapI have a few successful experience in fixing tv backlight problem. But for monitor, I have no experience. However, I think they are more or less the same. Am I correct?
Recently, I got the captioned monitor and the owner said it could not be turned on. I open it up and found that one of the SMT capacitors seemed to be bad. I replaced it as well as the other one. The monitor still could not be turned on.
I found the power indicator is on. When I shine a flashlight on the screen, I can see the image. Therefore, I think it is with backlight problem. I took out the led strip....-

by RolinI have a Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H 81y6003yUS that someone asked me to help them with a failing SSD. I installed a new SSD, fresh Win11 installation, updates, etc. Very standard stuff and everything was completed. He said he'll pick it up in a few days so I shut it down and set it aside.
A few days later came and now it won't POST an image, keyboard lights up, fans spin then shuts itself off after about 40 seconds. I've already tried the typical draining capacitance and removed CMOS battery,etc. No display on an external HDMI monitor as well.. No idea what happened. Suspected a BIOS... - Loading...
