Envision EN-5200ci recap (success)

[geforcefly]

Envision EN5200ci TFT1560PS 15" LCD: Display backlight stayed on for a split second, showing faint picture. PSU (715L1034-1) had bad caps.

Caps:
6x Hermei 470uf 16V replaced with 6x Panasonic FC 470uf 16V
2x Hermei 1,000uf 16V replaced with 2x Panasonic FC 1,000uf 25V
1x Hermei 150uf 50V replaced with 1x Panasonic FC 150uf 50V
1x Hermei 100uf 400V replaced with 1x Panasonic EE 100uf 400V

Before and after pictures included

Yes, the cap nearest the heatsink is sitting high up, I didn't pay attention to the diameter sizes when ordering the caps! This was my first ever recap, so I feel proud about that. This monitor will last a long time.

Did you also replace the small capacitor near the MOSFET on the primary side? It is a good idea to replace it too.
The power supply looks almost identical to the HP C1502 power supply, except for the mains connector.

The small cap by the mosfet without the heatsink was not changed. I didn't think it would be problematic. If the display acts up again I will change it. This is because when I have to change it I don't want to wait a long time for the PSU to completely drain (I always assume no bleeder resistor and I didn't have what I needed to drain the PSU; can't merely trust the switch!) I'm new at doing this and don't want to zap myself (which is also why I'm afraid to touch the innards of an ATX power supply that was just unplugged, except for the fan).

At least now I have one spare LCD :-)
