Issue with Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

[jeff_225bw]

Hi,
I'm new here. I had seen some threads on cap issues with this monitor.
Couple of questions. Has it been settled what vendor/part numbers are required to replace them? Is soldering involved? I have not done detailed soldering before, so I want to know what I'm thinking about delving into. What tools might I need?
Symptoms are that the monitor has to be turned off and on several times before it will display the image. I suppose it's warming up.


Thanks for help with this. The screen itself is fine and I hate to just throw it out if it can be easily fixed.

I do not know if your model uses the same version as the one I fixed or not. You will need good 40~60Watts iron, solder braid or solder sucker, flux, leaded solder.

Thanks Bud. Do you think I need to do a bunch of testing or does my issue sound like replacing common caps will do it?

You will have to open it up and at least look at the caps first.

Is that in order to find out what type they are or whether they are bad? One of the threads here stated that sometimes they don't even appear to be bad. In any case, I can't perform surgery for about a week. I'm waiting on my new laptop to arrive and can't take the change of destroying this monitor until it gets here.
