Re: LCD Monitor inverter gets way too hot
Google is your friend. I recognized the package as one commonly used for caps and the logo from another thread - the cap that flamed out. Now I know the manufacturer.
I'm no expert on CCFL tubes, but in florescent lighting if two tubes are the same length, but different diameter, the smaller diameter one draws less current. It thus seems logical that if someone substituted a larger diameter tube the exciting voltage to be the same, but once excited the current requirements would be higher. This is a SWAG!! Don't bet on it.
That part is available here for $17.99. I'm prejudiced - I've spent far too much time farting around trying to figure out what is failing on stuff like this. To me $17.99 is a bargain, given you don't know what has been changed. The downside is if the tubes pull too much power, you're out the $$$.
