    Emachines E19T5W bad caps

    Power board is a Mirage Electronics PI-190DTLB.

    Was told it would power and just flash on and off. In actuality monitor appears to power up but only display bright bands of colour. Upon opening the control board looks OK but there are 7 obviously bad Xunda caps. Some browning on the PCB near the step-up transformers too.

    Does anyone know if this board was made in any revision without Xunda caps? It's such an old monitor it's not really worth the time/money/effort of recapping the board, and even if it were I only have a 12W soldering iron to work with.

    Okay so I just pulled the Xunda caps clean out with my bare hands, without any damage left to the PCB pads (these solder joints are pretty terrible). The PCB holes are clear for new caps.

    How difficult would it be to just fit and solder new caps with a 12W iron? Could I get away with it without flux? The joints look small enough to be doable.

      12W no flux you will be lucky to melt non leaded solder. I guess try one and see how it goes. Pre heat the board with a hair dryer might help.
      Was it connected to a pc when it had the colour bands, if not, that could have been what it does as self test prior to attaching a vga cable.
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

        I suppose - I'd rather just avoid flux if possible. Hate the fumes from that stuff.

        Nah, this was a very definite monitor failure - I used to own this monitor myself. There were (seemingly of random-width) purple-brownish bands all over the monitor. The PSU caps were in pretty bad state so it could just be that, but I'm sort of worried the control board has bitten the dust too.

          Someone here had a similar problem and had to recap both the control board and PSU. It would cost the best part of £13 to do that over here. Tempted to just scrap the LCD as it's old and probably barely worth that much anyway.

            It's worth it, IMO, if you have a use for the monitor or can give it to someone who can use it. Good quality caps will get you more years of useful lifetime than you care for.
            If not, then probably better to pass it down on Freecycle.

              In the end I gutted it for the LCD and skip'd the rest of it. Just isn't worth the time and cost when I can get a known reliable monitor brand for not much more than that cost.

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

                Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
                by black6host
                Good day!

                I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

                I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...

                Replacing all the caps on the BenQ SW2700pt's power board didn't help...
                by Noodneek
                My 3.5 years old monitor (BenQ SW2700pt) started to black out for 1-2 sec every minute or so, it was doing this even with PC disconnected from it. I searched online and read that it's probably aging capacitors and there's a workaround to lower the brightness.

                I lowered it from 100 to 65% and it indeed helped, but after a couple of months the issue returned... I continued to lower the brightness, but it helped only for a couple of hours at most, then I needed to lower it further... Turning the monitor off and waiting for it to cool down also helped for a short time, after which it...
