I have 6 HP VS17e LCD monitors that all have bad caps. The caps are all from CapXon. They appear to be model P548 vent. They are marked with 1000uF 10v KF. I'm assuming the KF is the series. My problem is that I don't want to use the same brand. I can't seem to find the exact match regarding the KF series. Can I just use a similar capacitor from a good brand like panasonic or rubycon? How important is matching the series?

Re: HP LCD monitors VS17e replacing bad CAPS
You don't need to exactly match the specifications of the original capacitor to make your monitors work again. All you need is a high-quality capacitor with similar specifications.
I suggest the Nichicon PW series capacitor, the CapXon KF capacitor is low impedance for switching power supplies, so is Nichicon PW.
For a 1000uf 10V replacement capacitor, a Nichicon PW series capacitor would actually be slightly better than CapXon KF. Also, dimensions are the exact same (10x16mm).
CapXon KF 1000uf 10V 10x16mm:
Ripple: 1040mArms
Impedance: 0.076Ω (20°C 100kHz)
Nichicon PW 1000uf 10V 10x16mm:
Ripple: 1050mArms
Impedance: 0.068Ω (20°C 100kHz)
Nichicon PW can handle slightly more ripple and has slightly lower impedance than CapXon KF.
If you are in the USA, Digikey carries the capacitor you need: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...me=493-1746-ND
Digikey is very good, orders are processed and shipped very fast, and shipping times are also very fast.

Re: HP LCD monitors VS17e replacing bad CAPS
...and another lcd gets capxon'd...
why do so many lcd displays have capxon? its just bugging me out that one specific brand would be widespead in such a specifc application.sigpic

Re: HP LCD monitors VS17e replacing bad CAPS
I guess that CapXon has caps for a lower price than other capacitor manufacturers, probably that's what attracts Chinese LCD monitor manufacturers.Originally posted by ratdude747My gaming PC:

Re: HP LCD monitors VS17e replacing bad CAPS
but then why do you not see them in mobos? once in a while on cards/psu boxes, but not as widespread as lcd tvs and monitors.sigpic

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

My 3.5 years old monitor (BenQ SW2700pt) started to black out for 1-2 sec every minute or so, it was doing this even with PC disconnected from it. I searched online and read that it's probably aging capacitors and there's a workaround to lower the brightness.
I lowered it from 100 to 65% and it indeed helped, but after a couple of months the issue returned... I continued to lower the brightness, but it helped only for a couple of hours at most, then I needed to lower it further... Turning the monitor off and waiting for it to cool down also helped for a short time, after which it... -
Hi
Recently I got this tagan tg380-u01 PSU with bad caps on 3.3v rail (the line was 2.5v no load!). Replaced them but no go, so I've replaced all of them, apart from some smaller ones and one under the secondary heatsink. Even that didn't help so I've replaced the others. All caps are known good ones.
Powered it on and heard the breaker pop. Opened it up and saw some smaller caps shorted together. Fixed that up but still it trips breakers. Now I get 0ohms from 5v to GND. Secondary heatsink removed and still a short, even with the PWM IC board removed. All diodes on that... -
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...

nichiconare what i used because i had heard the voltage doesn't matter as long as it is more than the original cap. i'm now reading that high voltage may make the cap's esr too high. is this a good cap for replacing those oem ones?1500 µF 16 V Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors Radial, Can 8mOhm 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
