Hi
I recently acquired, and re-capped the power supply of, a DGM L-2442WD - five-or-six capacitors were bulging/leaking but I chose to replace all 15 on the secondary side.
The first test of two hours was fine, but on the second day, after about eight continuous hours, the display began malfunctioning - fading to black/white/grey, pixelating, freezing, general psychedelic-ness (difficult to describe). Very disappointing!
5v and 12v from the power supply appear stable - as far as I can tell.
The old solder was difficult/impossible to remove and the new solder didn't seem to take very well, so I wondered if this new problem could possibly be caused by a bad connection on one of the new capacitors?
Or could the smaller electrolytics on the main board be faulty? Or is it more likely to be something completely different?!
As always, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
