Reporting back

The replacement caps may have been unbranded...



...and the soldering job may have lacked finesse....



...but it worked!



Thanks everyone

They are Panasonic FR capacitors. These new line of capacitors no longer have that classic "M" logo (for Matsushita, another alias for Panasonic). The "T" vent on the top is usually a dead giveaway for Panasonic capacitors (although certain badcap manufacturers like Hermei do use this "T" vent sometimes).

Re: ViewSonic VP201b

Good day! Having an issue with my VP201b. Black screen and green light. Before it died display become totaly pink for a moment. Invertor looks like working fine - I see that lamps are giving light and fuse is OK. Where else should I dig? I replaced caps on power supply, voltage is fine. CCFL issue? Possible to check it with bright light?

Re: ViewSonic VP201b

Thanks for all the information in this thread. My VP201 started to have flickering issues, especially on bright screens.Replaced the two parallel 680uF capacitors (=1360uF), with a 1000uF and a 330uF (=1330uF) I had lying around. Cured the problem
