Hello. I'm trying to revive an LCD monitor with bulged caps in the power supply and I was wondering which specific ones to go with for this application. The ones that need replacing are 470mf 25v 105C. Three are definitely bulged and one is beginning to leak. Blinking power LED and no picture. Sceptre X220T-Naga.

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
Hi, welcome to Badcaps!
You want to use a good-quality low ESR cap.
Several of us here use Panasonic FM, FC or FR series capacitors for monitors.
Digikey.com is a good source36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far.... -
Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
We'll need a little more info to give you recomendations.
Manufacturor of caps, cap series (usually a 2 or 3 letter marking), and phisical dimentions in mm.
Also you should replace all caps from same manufacturor even if they aren't showing any signes of failure, if they're not bad now, they will be . . . soon.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
OK. The four that need replaced are CapXon 'KF C644 VENT', and they are 8mm x 16mm.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
Yes, those will work.
If you can fit them (height wise), you may get the 35v rated version, for even better reliability.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
They are the exact same dimensions as the ones I'm pulling out.
What's a good solder to use?Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
Leaded or lead free is fine, if you use leaded remove all the original lead free before soldering the new ones on.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
I looked for a 35v with same dimensions, but didn't see one listed. Also, The 25v ones I did find say 'General Purpose'. Is that ok to use in the power supply? No ESR value is shown.

It appears that they are out of stock on those and it says something about 'Lead Time'. I've never ordered though them before.Last edited by Davejr; 06-03-2013, 05:56 PM.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
They say "general purpose" to almost all electrolytic capacitors. It's a sort of "default" for electrolytic capacitors. They have "audio" capacitors that are still electrolytic capacitors so audio is a feature, or they consider being approved for "Automotive" use as a feature etc etc . Ignore that column.
Panasonic FM and FR are very low esr, long life capacitors, they're very good.
FR 470uf / 35v 10x17.5mm 8000h@105c : http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...441-ND/2433575
FR 470uF / 35v 8 x 22 mm 9000h@105c : http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...440-ND/2433574
FM 470uF / 35v 10x20mm 5000h@105c : http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...2415-ND/613776
FR 470/25 http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...418-ND/2433552
FR 470/25 http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...419-ND/2433553
FM 470/25 http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...2388-ND/613749
While it's not quite the same thing, you can treat the impedance column as an esr value. It's in mOhm so 30mOhm = 0.03 ohm
The old capacitors probably had 0.04-0.07 ohm esr and as they went bad, the value rose up gradually.
As long as you are very close to the value of old capacitors, or a bit below you're fine, and these series (FM and FR from Panasonic) are just right for monitors when it comes to current ripple and impedance but also when it comes to life - they're rated for 2.5-5 times more than your old capacitors.Last edited by mariushm; 06-03-2013, 06:09 PM.Comment

Re: Bad caps in LCD monitor
Thank you for all the help guys. I went ahead and ordered the ones from the link I posted previously. I was trying to keep all the dimensions identical because it gets pretty tight where they need to go. Might be a while before I get them though.Comment

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Good day!
I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.
I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first... -
Here's another LCD monitor repair: Westinghouse L2210NW.
Quick specs: 22” CCFL backlit LCD, 1680x1050 max resolution (16:10 aspect ratio)
I got it with a bunch of desktops PCs from a repair shop that was trying to free up space a few years ago. It seemed like a cheap monitor, so I didn't really care that much at first when I picked it up (and indeed it is, picture-wise.) But hey, free is free, so I can't complain. Moreover, it looked clean and the screen didn't have any significant scratches or blemishes.
Pictures of the monitor outside/case after a brief... -
Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Looking through my repair pictures and notes, it's been a long time since I posted anything in the LCD monitors section. So here goes that.
I'm dedicating this thread to one of the very first LCD monitors I repaired (if not the first one), which was more than 10 years ago now. The monitor is a Wise Wing, model F199. It's a 19” CFL-backlit LCD. I got it for free off of Craigslist in 2009 from a guy, who said he bought it for cheap from Wallmart and the monitor worked only for a little less than 2 years before quitting.
When I saw the Craigslist post, I wasn't...
