    Sceptre X9 Naga V Monitors

    After Reading I seem to have found the problem plaguing my 2 3 year old monitors.

    Both had same symptoms and went out within a week of each other.

    Others here with sceptre monitors and their power boards seem to have the same problems.

    I have one disassembled and see two caps with the tops beginning to bulge.

    So am I to understand that I should replace not only the two CapXon caps I see bulging, but all of them to prevent problems further down the road?

    Yes all Crapxon caps should be replaced.
    Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

      also because caps also "silently" fail. they often just dry out causing the ESR to go high, producing heat the further dries the caps.

      dont buy online kits. some monitors have kits which are just more crap. they like to include brands like xicon (radar shack's favorite brand, no low ESR caps available), and other crap brands. dont take out crap jut to put more crap in. pointless.

        Agree. Post the values of the caps you took out, and we can suggest replacements accordingly. Panasonic FC or FM series are widely used around here.

            I also have a Sceptre X9G Naga V. Its power board has 2 bulging caps in the top right corner. I intend to replace all the caps, but first I need a wiring diagram for this board since it seems that C65 & R88 were blown clean off the board and I need to know what to replace them with. I do know that the remnants of the capacitor was that of an orange disc cap.

            Here are some other details about the power board:

            SOTAC Model HOAU462001 Rev 1.0.
            I did find a Rev 1.1 board from http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_...trans/zh-CN/en but I'm unsure how I can actually purchase it since I don't understand Chinese and Google Chrome's auto-translate function isn't helping too much.

            There are 2 capacitors on this board that I can't seem to find in topcat's item mall and both of them are 470uF @ 35V.

              looks like the board in that auction has blown caps too.
              as for your 470/35 use panasonic fc,fm nichicon pw,rubycon zl,ect.
              post a pic of the damage.

                Unfortunately, I don't have a camera. My board looks almost exactly like the auction pic except for Diode D19 exists in my Rev 1.0 board and doesn't exist in the pic. The Capacitor and Resistor that were blown off in my board are just right of center in the auction pic, near where Diode D19 would be. Also, where is a good solvent for all the white goop on the board that holds the components in for soldering? In order to discover which 2 components were blown off I had to scrape off this white stuff to get down to the board lettering. I see no major damage from the blown off parts.

                  In case it matters, I've attached the auction pic to this post.

                    It appears as though most of the posts for this board (HOAU462001 power supply for the Sceptre X9G Naga V) indicate C65 and C88 are missing. Here's my thought. Maybe they were part (the traces dont indicate it) of the original circuit design and later omitted (snipped out) by the mfr. Just my opinion. My board has the infamous bulging caps mentioned in other posts. The 5 volt supply is running (high ripple) but the HV supply is dead. A note.
                    There is about 165v both sides of the missing R65 with respect to the Q3 heat sink. Nice forum. Thanks to all.

                      on this laptop hp g72 b52sf i have screen problems as you can see with the photo joined in attachments.
                      the used graphic card is "intel hd graphics" and the id of the integrated screen is : "monitor/SEC3354".
                      i verified the driver of the péripherals and they are ok. i verified the definition and settings of the graphic card and of the screen : definition 1600x900 and refreshment frequency :60hz. (they are the sames for the graphic card and the screen).
                      i don't understand the reasons of the white stripe at the bottom of the screen below the task...

                      USB problems?
                      by Hondaman
                      Recently I discovered my SSD died (OCZ/Toshiba 240 GB). It was in a USB enclosure, attached to the Linksys WRT-AC1200 router. Since then I removed the USB enclosure and attached it to my Win7 PC (AMD 8150 CPU, 970 chipset, 64 GB RAM). I also gathered one or two other USB enclosures to figure out what is going on.

                      (I suspect that I lost quite a few MP3 and FLAC files I recently ripped from my audio CDs, I think I lost very little un-replaceable stuff.)

                      I think it is IMPOSSIBLE for Win7 to have any problems with a USB enclosure as long as Win7 knows how to speak to the...

                      Need help to solve some problems with this laptop.

                      After working in bed with it one night and heating up too much (probably the cause of this problems) the sata HDD OS windows froze
                      After restart the original Sata HDD was not recognized anymore (but works fine in other laptops or PCs)

                      Tried connecting other good Sata 2.5 HDDs but not one is working in this laptop anymore (not the original nor others)

                      Before this had happened I observed some other problems:
                      When I tried replacing original mecanical HDD with a SSD HDD could not get them...

                      Fixing an I-Inc IF281D for the 3rd time, now with added flickering!
                      by DrvLikHell
                      Hello everybody! It's been nine years and I'm back again with the same monitor that several people here helped me fix back then. The first time, I replaced two caps as was recommended here and the original problem was solved. Then it started acting up a few years later and I came back for a parts list and replaced a few more caps (I didn't make a post about that and don't remember which ones), and again the problem was solved. This time, however, I'm not sure if it's caps.

                      The monitor stays on but certain colors will flicker. Generally it's darker colors like dark greys or dark blues,...

                      Sceptre 48" TV backlight LED`s
                      by spirittoo
                      Trying to fix a backlight problem with a Sceptre 48" TV.

                      I found replacement strips with the same part number as the strips in the Sceptre, but the new backlight strips have 5 leds per strip and the ones in the tv has 6.

                      So I decided to replace the leds instead. I found 3 bad ones. I had no problem removing the bad ones with a heat gun, they came right out. However the leds on the replacement strip would not come out with heat. I use my solder iron as well, they will not come off.

                      Anyone know how I can remove those leds without damaging them?
