It's the uk version anyway.
After getting some irritating problems with the monitor. About a year and a bit ago the built in usb hub stoped working. just a week out of warenty it's started taking an age to come out of stand by when cold and the power light going out while this happening. It got progressively worse untill I'd literally have the dell logo appear and a blank display untill it warmed up, When unpluged and pluged in again it would come back to life but it was taking nearly an hour to happen.
I managed to get into it and low and behold there where 2 bulging capacitors. They are Samxon 1000uf 10v 105°C GF series capacitors. I managed to butcher 2 lelon 1000uf 35v rxk 105°C from an old dead satellite receiver's PSU to get me up and running again and temporary replacement. Everything is working perfectly again and instantly.
I realise this thing runs pretty hot and Lelon have a bad rep. I understand Samxon have a good reputation and I think they have run in this monitor for at least 20,000 of use so have probably served there specified life. What's the ideal replacements for these caps and possibly the others which where all Samxon GF series? I'm thinking replace the lot too save having to open it up again if others fail.
