Re: Replacing Monitor Caps
Attention To Friends Doing Monitor Caps Replacement:
Replace all caps including those inside the power brick.
Replacing the sm. caps has the risk to tear off the circuit when removing them.
Replacement of the electrolytic caps has no any risk at all.
Very old monitor may have dead spots soon and is unwise to do replacement.

Re: Replacing Monitor Caps
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have experience of caps replacement.
Remember that it is good to replace all caps.
Many bad caps have no any visible sign.
Bigger V. and uf. have no problem.
I only replace caps with those of Rubycon and they are wonderful!Leave a comment:

Why not? The no. of capacitors inside a monitor is usually limited. The monitor of the picture below was taken after its complete replacement of capacitors....Leave a comment:

Re: Help please. how lomg does it take to remove a bad cap?
Dear Friend(s),
I do the work with a 40 watts iron of the brand of the Goot. The leads of a capacitor very near the printed circuit should be touched with only the molten solder on the tip of the iron but not the tip!...Leave a comment:

Dear Friend,
Don't touch the printed circuits with the tip of your hot iron but the molten solder on the tip of your hot iron!!!Leave a comment:

Re: Reccaping by used CAP's recommendation.
Dear Friend,
If you find that the capacitors of your mainboard have the appearance of the bad capacitors, my past experience tells to replace all the capacitors or you will be very sorry later. Use new and good capacitors only....Leave a comment:

Dear Friend,
Your can buy good capacitors from Hong Kong by mail. It is easy to find good capacitors which capacitances exactly match the replaced. This place has a list of good international shops selling good capacitors.Leave a comment:

Re: Thinking of doing my first recap
Dear Friend,
I have 3 motherboards of this model. The capacitors of all of them have been successfully replaced. These are two of them (after replacement).Last edited by Leung Kai-yan; 12-23-2007, 07:02 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Thinking of doing my first recap
Dear Friend,
A good 40 watts iron is OK. The tip of the hot iron touches only the holes but not any part of the printed circuit. It is not a must to remove all the old solder in the holes. For the tools and instruments, please see the photos....Last edited by Leung Kai-yan; 12-23-2007, 02:27 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: First time recap question
Dear Friend,
In my case, a small capacitor made trouble first. Can you see the capacitor near the SATA connector? It is the Sanyo OS-CON capacitor used to replace the trouble-maker-a small capacitor....Leave a comment:
