Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW



Yes, yes sir it is. That's the first time I've ever really dealt with replacing components on a circuit board but I have done a little soldering in the past modifying radio triggers with antennas and such. I was a little worried I might have screwed up the board and I was supper nervous that I had a cap in backwards. I set it in front of the bathroom door and with the cord going under it I plugged it in so that if it were to blow up I would be out of harm's way. haha. Then when i turned it on and nothing happened I shut down my computer...

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

you guys rock. my monitor is up and running again and it only ran me about $12 to fix it. thanks!

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

Does it matter if the inductor is in there backwards? I don't believe it is but there are no visible markings to determine it. but being as it's a wire wrapped around a core it should do the same thing even if it were reversed? and the bridging the gap idea, +1 to you good sir. I hadn't even thought of that. Thank you.

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

alright i've managed to locate the removed caps and the missing inductor. you think it would be alright if i soldered the old one back into it? thinking about doing this for the large cap as well but i removed the plastic coating on it and can't determine the position of the negative lead now. probably be safer just to reorder that item. yeah?

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW



yeah it's labeled L101, thank you. Still need to try and figure out which one to get though. I have to track down the old ones and see if i can't figure it out from there....

Re: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

in buzznjackal's first image attachment, there's a component next to C111 and C112, i'm not sure what it is but i removed mine thinking it was some sort of cap but it isn't. i need to replace it. i have the same exact board as his attachment and i can't seem to locate the caps i removed as i did it last week before i left on vacation. now i'm back and can't find them, heh. any ideas on what that is so that i can replace it? also, the large cap C105 that lies on it's side, has some very small leads on it (the replacement). I guess i need to order another...
