Hi, i'm new here and i'm from Italy so be patient with language..
Few days ago i had the luck to go to a workplace and recover a wonderful
20" wide lcd mon. from Philips, the man says 'it's burnt, you can get it',
i opened it and there was 2 caps bulged that i replaced with 2 other grabbed
from a pc mo.bo., i had only one value so i decided to change that 1000nF with 1500uF ones hoping well, The monitor is tested for 30 min. and goes well.. but theese thays i'm discussing in italian newsgroups if is safe to change with this greater value (same volt), many guys says no, but i'm discussing the why, i don't want to reopen it (is difficult) if there is no reason,
one man says them will have shorter life than original, but another said for he companies puts undersized caps in hope them will break one day, after warranty period, so users go to buy anther one, in this optic a greater value seems ok, the caps are on the psu near the output conn. , another says them a output filter/rectifier and with higher val. it grow the voltage that
enters in voltage regulators and need more heat sinking, to you the question..
hope it's interesting...
