G' Day all, I got this Viewsonic VX2235wm-5 from a relative of mine. They told me that they haven't used it for sometime, but they claimed it worked before they put it away for some time. Now, when I plug it in, the only thing that comes to live with only the blue led, turning dimmer after 1-2 sec after plug-in(lcd starting?).
Anyway, took it apart and there were no bulging caps, visible heat damage to the metal cage around the where the heatsinks were. Then I noticed a 2200uF 10V SamXon cap in the "heat box of death". When powered on, it was uncomfortably hot after running for 2-3 minutes.(shorted cap?)
I guess it's safe to say that the primary fuses aren't blown?
I have successfully found a similar thread but it was left hanging.(and had a completely different problem). If I missed out anything, feel free to leave it in the comments.
Thanks in advance.
