Re: Samsung LCD Syncmaster 226BW

I also had a 226BW with bad capacitors, (wouldn't turn on) I used FR/FM caps and it's working beautifully! The picture isn't awful for a TN panel. Sorry I came too late to the thread to tell you exactly which parts I bought.

Hi. I'm Paul.

I've come across badcaps.net a few times in the past, and now, after having a few (2?) capacitor replacement jobs under my belt, I decided it was time to stop guessing at the cause of problems and begin to acquire some small bit of engineer's intuition in the matter. Like, when is it okay (or perhaps even beneficial) to replace a capacitor with one of a larger or smaller capacitance, or which specifications of mosfets should be adjusted to find more robust or less expensive (or both) parts.
