    Sceptre X22WG

    I have a Sceptre X22WG that died. It no longer powers on. No LED in the front, no display on either of the video outputs. I looked and saw that I am not alone. I am guessing that I have a fault with the power supply, but I haven't cracked her open yet. For now I guess I will look at other threads and try to repair it as others have.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Don't crack it open. Open it carefully. Replace any bad parts. If you need help identifying the bad parts, take pictures and attach them to your post. There is a FAQ in inserting pictures in your post, please follow it.

      Sorry about that, I initially posted from my phone.

      I have disassembled the monitor and removed the power supply card. The other thread with similar problems was a great help.

      I checked the fuse, which was fine.

      Here are the pictures of my board. With the old caps removed.

      I ordered new caps with the help of the previously mentioned thread since the caps are exactly the same. Thank you motzilla!

      I removed the caps at work while on my break. It was very easy. Have to love the through hole boards. You can see them at the top of the last picture.

      You can not see to well from my poor pictures, but the one in the center has a bulge in it. While at work I tested the cap in a cap tester we have, and found that several caps failed miserably. The cap checker we have is pretty nice since you input the manufacturer specs (1000uf, 16v, etc) and it will test the cap and let you know if it's good or BAD.

      Taicon cap

      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...id=13918&stc=1

      I opted to replace the caps the others had replaced, with hope of seeing similar results. The Taicon passed most of the testing, but had a high ESR. The Capxon caps that were bulging did not fare as well.

      My order of caps has shipped as of this morning, so I am optimistic that my monitor will be operational late next week.

        Good job of documenting what you are doing. Only one question - did you keep track of which cap goes where?

          They are supposed to go back in the same spots? Lol

          Yes, I did. Thank you.

            "It's Alive!"

            I replaced seven caps on the power supply from the previous pictures. They did the trick. I haven't seen the monitor turn on in a while. About $5 in caps and a few hours of work, and it is fully operational again! I think the majority of time went to getting the case of the monitor open. The soldering was done in minutes. It should be easy since I am are IPC certified Doesn't get much easier than through hole boards. If anyone needs help with their Sceptre, pm me.
