Got a tight-wad buddy (owns 4 bars, 3 rental properties) brought me 2 ancient monitors, a 13 year old HP, and an 18 year old Dell to fix, lolz I asked him, "wazzup with these?, U have that deep a relationship with these that ya can't let 'em go??"
...and realize this guy drives a beat-up 1985 ford truck as well.....lmao
The Dell (E173Pf) lost it's backlights (happened to have one here, quick screen swap out, problem solved), but the HP (a vs19d) wouldn't even light up the power button. Soon as I had it apart, I saw the culprits....6 Capxon's with the typical BTS (bulging top syndrome), three 10v 1000uf + three 25v 680uf. replaced those w/ close enough values (didn't have exact), and it too is now back in action.... Matt, ya tight bastiche..lol
