If you use SEARCH - above for lp2626 you will find a thread that might help or at least give an idea of what is involved. If totally new to electronics seek guidance before testing anything. You will need a multimeter and probably soldering equipment
BTW, I just got this one apart and it has the exact same failure that your pictures show the same 12pf 3kv cab blown the same way. When you fixed that one did you replace all 4 caps or just the one? Did you use digikey to get the parts?
I have the same monitor and the same issue...my caps are on the way. This thread has been very helpful thanks!
One question though...Was just looking at the back of my board and noticed the soldier on the one side of the bad cap is touching the terminal next to it...
(my board)
I didn't notice this on the pic from the Buds gallery
(Buds board)
I've had the monitor for years w/o issue...just started smoking yesterday...could this have gotten so hot it soldiered itself to the one next to it?
And when I do the new cap I'll assume I need to clean this up and keep them separate right?
That is OK, the two pads are connected through the copper trace any way.
BTW, there are two cap values, one is 12pf, one is 3pf (this one is hard to get).
Make sure you install the correct one at the correct location. http://s807.photobucket.com/user/bud...ml?sort=3&o=23
Yeah again using your pics it ended up being the same exact one you fried...the 12pf...I was confused at the label 12j but learned that 12j = 12 picofarads or 12pf...So I got the one's you liked from Mouser...
