Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

Installed my new caps from DigiKey and my monitor is as good as new!

New soldering iron: $8.99
New solder-sucker: $9.99
New caps: $3.13 (plus $4.95 shipping)

Doing it yourself? Priceless!

Thanks a lot to everyone who has posted on this thread!

Just for reference, here are the parts I ordered:

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

I just opened mine up and it doesn't look like there is a single good solder joint on the whole board...

Of the three caps mentioned in this thread, two of them have brown discoloration on the tops -the 820uF ones...
