    Asus PA246 monitor possibly blown caps? HELP please.

    Okay so I dont know anything about caps or anything like that im new to all this but my asus monitor went out and when I asked on reddit what it could be after telling them it was at frist having trouble staying on then just completely stopped turning and no LED power light when it was off anymore they said it was possibly a blown cap.

    I contacted asus and since it was out of warranty they said it would prob cost $300 to repair I would rather buy a new monitor as I didnt even pay half that much for it in the first place anyway I digress.

    Im here to see if you guys can take a look at this pictures I took and tell me if it looks like a blown cap?

    I will attach the photos below. I believe the brown caps are fine its the blacks ones im unsure of I dont know if its flat or bulged sometimes it looks like it is bulged on top and other times it looks flat to me can you let me know if anything looks off and also your opinions on what I should do, I will take more pics if needed. Thank you

          Yea, the two black caps are bad.

              I think those are startup caps. Can't tell the series or manufacturer though

                      Asus UX490U laptop blown (caps?) on power board.
                      by odtech
                      Greetings friends.

                      I was given this nice little laptop and would like to revive it if possible but i'm stuck identifying blown components. I'm very new to the repair game so i'm proceeding very cautiously.

                      I don't know the history of this laptop and the donator didn't elaborate what happened but it seems some moisture got into the USB C charge port and the result was what looks like some blown caps. The tell is some gunk inside the USB C port and corrosion on the outside as well as what looks like corrosion around the blown components.

                      Any guidance...

                      Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
                      by black6host
                      Good day!

                      I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

                      I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...

                      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                      Assistance with identifying replacement caps on ASUS P5VDZ-MX
                      by crosswinds
                      Hello,

                      So, pulled a motherboard out from storage, was working when put away, wont post when I took it out of storage today.
                      Since it was working, and it looks to be essentially time that killed it I figured its a good idea to replace the caps before digging further.
                      Looks to be only good quality caps on this board, so might not be the issue. But it is closing in on 20 years now so, wont hurt i guess

                      Its a ASUS P5VDZ-MX board.

                      I would really appreciate some assistance on what the best replacement caps would be for these:

                      Panasonic(M)...

                      ASUS PG27U MONITOR
                      by myth77
                      First, i dont work on monitors only on laptops and that also for a hobby. So, i received this monitor in the title and it was completely dead, and power supply when used was going off to a power protection. I found that one of the voltage regulators for backlight GS9238 is dead, so i replaced it and monitor is working fine now. But...on the main motherboard first thing i tested was a main power rail and after power jack there is one mosfet Nikos PD537BA. The thing is when i tested all pins of that mosfet are shorted in between. Now when i plug the adapter the monitor just goes on. I dont think...
