Re: Reverse Image - Soyo Topaz S 24"



Both of which I don't have, or the means of acquiring, unfortunately. Would you have a recommendation of some reading for the basis of replacing a capacitor? I do have an old-ish Hakko soldering iron somewhere.

Also, I think I have located the fuse, wrapped in heatstrink right below the AC plug....

Re: Reverse Image - Soyo Topaz S 24"



I'm surprised it even lasted this long, not to mention the *other* one that is still running since I bought the pair nearly a year and half ago.

From peeking through the heatsink:
SAMXON
100uF 450V
diameter of 1.8cm
length of 4.0cm

Trouble is removing the heatsink, which seems to be screwed on to locking pins that are soldered through the PCB. Would it be a safe go to de-solder these pins?...

Re: Reverse Image - Soyo Topaz S 24"

Sorry, for being late. After my monitor died, it so happens my mobo (ASUS P5K-VM) dies. Just my luck. Didn't power on one day, so I swapped out the PSU, powered-on and **POP**. I pulled the plug and therein loomed a rancid smell. I unplugged all the peripherals beforehand and am lucky that the CPU and the RAM are still good. Now I'm on a cheapo backup motherboard (EVGA 610i) which is surprisingly more stable than the ASUS ever was.

Anyhow, back to the case of the dead monitor; it's still in pieces, and I've taken some photos....

Thanks for the response!

It was on one minute, and the next, it powered off suddenly. From then on, it will not power on at all (no LED, no display, no start sound or any indication of power). Tried power cycling, waiting 15 mins etc, and a different power cord - nothing. First thing I thought of was to open it up, check for a broken fuse, but I couldn't find one. Then I went search on the web (landed on lcdmonitorrepair.net/), useful but not directly applicable to my current situation!

I will look where you...

Re: Reverse Image - Soyo Topaz S 24"

Not to bump an old thread, but I have a no-power issue with the same model monitor just today. I don't see any plump capacitors...that's the extent of my knowledge with LCD repair. Freelander can you point out where the fuse is located? Thank you in advance.
