Re: CapXon

You won't have much luck finding a cap with those METRIC dimensions. Try looking for one 20MM high, 10 MM diameter. Remember, you need low ESR caps. See the FAQ 'Which caps should I buy?' in the FAQ subforum.

Yes, we are having fun. And we're going to have even more when you post "I fixed it!!"

I went to FAQ like you told me to and realized that the cap I have listed in this thread is probably the cap I need. I kept looking at my measurements and knew something was not right and then found a conversion table and compared it to my measurement in inches and the 10 x 20 is it. I'm having fun just learning this stuff

Re: CapXon

Even though the replacement caps weren't low-ESR, it still should have most likely started running (for a while at least) if caps were the only problem. There's probably another problem besides the caps - but the caps still needed to be replaced anyway.

After replacing all 9 caps and if it still does not work what do I look for then? Where Do I begin?

Does it still have the original problem? If so, hook it up to a working computer, then try shining a light on the screen and see if you can see a faint image.

If you can, then start researching 'Two seconds to black.'

I just tried that and can't see anything, no faint image. This is beginning to worry me. Not the cost of fixing it but won't be able to find the problem. Anyway I'm off to google it and see what I find. Btw good luck with the surgery mine isn't bad enough yet. But the Dr said he was going to keep an eye on it and I notice it now too.
