    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?

        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

          Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
          by lostone
          Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

          First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
          When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

          Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
          by x_orange90_x
          I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

          I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

          APSINT3636VR 3600W APS INT Series 36V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger schematic
          by Gentian
          I have a tripp-lite aspint 3636vr inverter charger which blow some of mosfet transistors. I replaced them repaired also the driver circuit and tested but the mosfets burn again.

          It work very well as inverter and also as charger if I let the rear switch in auto mode (inverter) and charger only(charging) but in auto when I connect the feed line 220V AC first time it pass ok to line and start charging the batteries but when I remove the feed line it pass to inverter mode and if I do it again the second time when passing from charging to inverter the Main transformer start making a...

          Insignia NS-LCD19-09 (PS OK, Inverter problem?)
          by valvashon
          For some reason I'm just not going to let this 19" TV defeat me. I guess because I have a schematic to work from I feel like I'm oh so close.

          History- while adding a turn-on circuit I let a small screw roll under the power board. Worked through all of that circuitry, probably replacing a MOSFET and PWM controller that were not bad but I was following the service manual. Finally figured out that the power supply is in working order when the inverter section (for the backlights) is disconnected. When the +12 supply to the inverter is disconnected the +12 and +5 will come up...

          A modified sine wave inverter + a grid tie inverter?
          by eccerr0r
          If I had a solar fed grid tie inverter (GTI), a modified sine wave inverter, and a power outage occurred, what would happen if you disconnected mains, backfed the modified sinewave inverter (MSI) into house power, and hooked up the GTI to the output of the MSI, would it work?

          Next thing is trying to charge the batteries using solar power, but that's another issue ...
