I got 2 different ones because I didn't know what how big (fat/tall) the cap was. Do you think these will work. I jus no like blow up my office.

thanks for the help

Re: dell 17" 1707FPVt LCD Monitor

Yeah either of those will work. The CapXon has a rated ripple current capacity of 1040mA, according to the datasheet. According to the NCC datasheet for the ones you ordered, the 8mm ones have 1050mA ripple current capacity, and the 10mm ones can handle 1210mA. So, that being said, if the 10mm ones will fit, it would be preferable to use them, but the 8mm ones would be fine too. The general consensus around here I believe is that CapXons are overrated to begin with, so either will work just fine. If you see any other CapXon that you can replace, do it, chances are they aren't far off. I fixed a Dell LCD monitor and there were 3 CapXon vented through the top, and 4 or 5 vented through the bottom.

Good luck!

Do they match the uF and voltage ratings of the old caps? You should also replace any other CrapXon caps that are in there, even if they don't show signs of failure now they will soon.

EDIT: Looks like I was a little late

Should I try replace these, then make sure it works first. then order the others? there are more of the same brand on the board but was not pop or anything. I no like spend too much money and it not work. This is for my company thats why. I had a user call me saying it doesnt work so I swapper her out. When I went to her desk, the green light was blinking, but i could not get no display (not even the menu button worked). Now it doesnt even power on.

thanks again

Well replace the blown ones first, and any other 1000uF/10v ones you see that you can replace, and then make sure it works. Then if I were you I'd go ahead and replace all the other CapXon, otherwise you'll just be seeing it again to replace them in not too long

this worked for one monitor, got it back to working, thanks for the advice. I did the same on a second one and it act like it is working just no picture. the display screen is good I powered it up with the other monitor's system board.
