Re: Gateway FPD2485W processor board caps - help!

Using deductive reasoning and logic, I surmised the 100uF cap went in spot C227. Then I reanalyzed my behavior, and realized I started with that cap, so it had to be a 47uF. I surmised the 100uF went to C223, and that's where I put it. Monitor seems to be working so far, with the two minor issues noted above.

Re: Gateway FPD2485W processor board caps - help!

Well, after replacing all the caps on the processor board, and on the power board, I put everything back together again and the gorgeous picture and sound are back.

This forum is an excellent resource, and you folks are great at giving extremely good directions!

I hve two minor issues to resolve... The USB connection seems to be non-functional. I have to confirm I connected it back up correctly. Also, I am having trouble getting the ribbon cable for the buttons to work right. I have no buttons....

Folks, first let me say "Thanks" to all who post questions and answers here. They have been very helpful!!

Now, I am ashamed to admit, I made a beginner's mistake. Normally, I am very careful in disassembly of things to only remove one thing at a time. In this case, I got in a hurry, and screwed up a little, and of the five caps I took off the processor board, FOUR are 47uF 16V, and ONE is 100uF 16V. I feel like such an idiot, as I can't recall where the 100uF came from.

On my Gateway FPD2485W, the processor board - C605, C334, C619, C223,...
