Re: Sceptre X22 WG Gamer With Replaced Caps Turns off after 5-10 minutes

really good info there PCBONEZ, thx.

@ borgware: I would go with P12388-ND then. I only got the 89's cause they were in stock at the time and had the same specs (minus the longer lifetime which turns out to be moot thx to PCBONEZ's info) Plus Logos077 used those in his recap.

thx logos, I replaced the caps on the board and my monitor works great again!!! thanks you all for your help.

I'm posting pics of getting into the case in case others need to do the same... since the recommendation from Spectre tech was to "buy a new one" when I called asking for a quote to repair it.

Here are the pics. Keep in mind this was my first time attempting something like this so I'm not sure if this is the best process but it worked for me.

Thanks kc8adu and Bobdee.

I'm a little worried about the size. I can't seem to find an exact match but I may not need to. It seems there will be enough clearance for the 20mm in regards to the height of the 470uf25v to fit in there (see pic), but I'm a little worried about the width as 10mm is the smallest I'm seeing on the sites; the ones in there right now are 8mm. Plus the my searches have been turning up caps with a 5mm pitch and these are 3.5mm.. do you think I'd be able to make that work?...

couldn't find a way to edit the post so I'm sorry for all the consecutive posts here.

after searching on Digikey I can't seem to find the right size cap replacements?

The 470uF25v on the board currently are 8mm x 16mm with a pitch of 3.5mm. My search seems to only be turning up 8mm x 20mm which will be too long. I'm not sure what to do next.

Got the monitor opened and boards out. Seems that my board is is slightly different so I'm assuming the models aren't spot on - regardless, should I replace all the caps? The giant on towards the middle doesn't have any visible markings besides TAICON and the 470uF25v certainty look like they're bulging a little.

Any and all advice would be much appreciated....

Re: Sceptre X22 WG Gamer With Replaced Caps Turns off after 5-10 minutes

Hello all, great site!

I also have a 22inch Sceptre (x22wg) LCD and am having the very same problem with it. I'd called Scpetre support and they recommended that I just buy a new monitor as repairing it wouldn't be cost effective!?! I might end up buying a new monitor (not a sceptre mind you) but I'd like to try and fix this one if at all possible.

Logos007, would you kindly post the part list that your ordered from digikey so I can order the same ones?

Lastly,...
