Re: Repairing VP2030B

I got my CAPs replaced today and the monitor comes right on now with no problems. My DVI is also now picking up the input on the first try. while removing one of the caps, while My father warmed up the solder and I pulled the cap out, one of the leads on the cap came right out of the cap without a problem and stayed in the board. Probably a big reason for some of my issues.

The caps I used were:

6x = 25YXG100M6.3x11 (100uF 25v)
2x = UHE0J102MPD1TD (1000uF 6.3V)
3x = ELXY350ELL181MH15D (180uF 35v)

I bought these...

Yes I have another one of these monitors with the same issues. It started by powering on but being dim and then getting to its full brightness after a couple minutes. As time went on it would not come on until a couple minutes after pressing the power button. This got worse as time went by and I looked it up and found this place and saw the great help others got so I figured, why not fix this issue myself. I paid about $700 for this monitor over 3 years ago and if its easy to fix by re-soldering some caps then why not at least give it a shot. So I decided to at least take it apart and see if i...
