Hi all,
I got a broken LCD monitor from work- figured I would try to fix it b/c it was going to be thrown away. The issue is that it produced a fully white screen when powered on. It also had a burning smell. So, I took the monitor apart etc. I found a burned spot on the inverter around a small capacitor. I have no idea what the rating is for this capacitor. Also, I was wondering if I replaced the capacitor if it would fix the issue b/c perhaps the circuits had been damaged..?
I tried to google for a schematic for the inverter to get the rating on the cap, but I failed to come up with one.
Anyway, here are my questions:
1.Judging by the included pic, do you think it is possible to repair the inverter by replacing the cap, or does the board look like it has circuit damage from that burn?
2. If I do replace the capcitor, how do I find the rating for it? Do I have to have the schematic? Any suggestions on how to get the info I need?
