Re: Second opinion on replacement caps

choosing a capacitor with a higher voltage rating probably wont make a difference. A reputable manufacturer would make a larger difference (and you said you were doing that). If you look for a capacitor with a higher voltage rating, be careful about the dimensions. You could run into a space issue.

As for the impedance rating of the RLG, I cant give you a definitive answer. If you cant find a spec, I would use a cap with similar impedance to one of the other series. I'm guessing here, but the other two series (RLX, RLP) specifically...

Re: Second opinion on replacement caps

Replacing those two bulging caps fixed it. Thanks for the help!

Re: Second opinion on replacement caps

Thank you for explaining that. I ordered the PW series. I'll report back if it fixed the monitor.

Re: Second opinion on replacement caps

I'm thinking the PW series might be better. The impedance is closer to whats in there now.

Re: Second opinion on replacement caps

Thanks for clearing that up. Any thoughts on the replacement caps? Im concerned about the difference between the 'esr' or inductance rating. The caps I found have half the ESR rating. The SAMXON are designed to be "low impedance caps", therefore I would think that the design of the circuit would be independent of the cap ESR. So maybe lower ESR caps wouldnt affect the circuit?
I'm having trouble finding caps with similar ESR rating that fit within the height restrictions, and are with the same manufacturer. I suppose having...

I have a LG l204WTX which doesnt turn on, and has been sitting around for 3 years or so now. Back in the day it would sometimes turn on and function normally just by unplugging/plugging in the power cable. it would continue to work as long as it didnt turn off or go into sleep mode.

Anyways, its completely dead now (and has been for 3 years), with only a rapid flashing blue/yellow light. I probed around and the 5V rail going to the controller board read at 5vs. The 15v rail however was at 18V. Could be a problem, could just be because the LCD (backlight and data) and VGA/DVI was...
