    Issue with Samsung Syncmaster 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.

                      Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                      by vincentedel
                      Hello,
                      I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some time—like after playing a game—the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                      I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...

                      Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                      by Kjell
                      After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                      Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                      Samsung DM32D – Red LED blinks 5 times, won’t start (possible mainboard issue)
                      by Nairolf
                      Hello,

                      I have a Samsung DM32D display.
                      When I try to power it on, the red LED blinks 5 times and nothing happens—the unit won’t start.

                      Here’s what I have tried so far:
                      1. Disconnected the cable between the mainboard and the power supply → the backlight turns on.
                      2. Disconnected the main T-CON ribbon cable → same issue as before, the LED still blinks 5 times.
                      3. Disconnected one of the two T-CON ribbons to the panel (tested each one separately) → same issue, the LED blinks 5 times.

                      From these tests, I suspect the problem might be on the mainboard. Could anyone...

                      Samsung Syncmaster 740BF repair
                      by soopacrucial
                      Hi folks,

                      I'm new here and was wondering whether you might be kind enough to give me some advice on troubleshooting the following problem:

                      Quite a few years ago now, a couple of years from new, my Samsung Syncmaster 740BF LCD monitor starting playing up by making a buzzing noise and then the display would go blank. I seem to remember the blue power led would also go off when this happened but that I'm not 100% sure of. By pressing the power button I do remember I could at first get it working again but eventually the problem would come back. At the time I had read about...
