Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW



Are you sure those are installed correctly? I have the same board, and my negative was pointed in the other direction for those two capacitors. I see the marks, but I'm not sure they are correct (however, I will say that it's hard to believe he would mark them incorrectly.) The point still remains, the polarity of the capacitors is important....

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

I just replaced the caps on my monitor, and it worked perfectly. Thanks to everyone.

Here's a few tips for someone trying to do it:

Getting the old capacitors off the board: I used a solder wick. It was like $2 from Fry's, and it worked great. What I did was smash the wick between the solder joint and the soldering iron, and after holding it in place for a few seconds, it soaked up almost all of the solder.

Here are the part numbers I used from Digi-key:

3x EEU-FC1E331L
2x ELXY250ELL821MK20S...
