Re: Newbie with Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem



Thanks for the help.
I have a bunch of 50v 22uf caps. The person who sold them to me said that the 50 would work better then the 35v that the board came with. Do you agree?...

Re: Newbie with Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem

Darnit, the first cap pulled the trace off. The 2nd one was a 22uf 35v and the kit I received does not have one of that size in it. Not off to a good start I made very poor looking beads to hopefully touch the original traces. IDK, it might be destroyed....

Thank you! That will be helpful. I should have asked before so I would have only needed to order the 6 instead of the 21, but it was only 12 bucks for the 21.

I just verified and there are no screws under the sticker. There is a dimple though. This monitor has been dying on me for almost 2 years.

It would try to come on and so the computer kept thinking the hdmi connection was there and then disconnected, sometimes 10-20x in 20 seconds. It would cause a blue screen any time this occurred. So i finally...

The bottom and top are prying just fine, but i was rolling a thin screwdriver down the sides and it was not "popping" apart. I could not understand because I spent over an hour searching online for help on this and it seems like I am the only one with the problem. I disassemble electronics regularly, so I am really stumped....

Re: Newbie with Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem

I am having the exact same issue as most people. My issues is I cannot get it disassembled. I have removed all of the screws. I have now sort of destroyed the casing trying to separate it.
I even have found the factory manual and still I cannot figure out how it is held together.
someone please share their trick?
