Re: Samsung Syncmaster 205bw, blink of death

Ah good call. 2 of the replacements I picked were FC series, 2 were NHG. Totally forgot about that. I assume I ought to use the same manufacturer for all, or does it matter? I found Nichicon replacements just incase.

As far as diameter and height, do they have to be the exact same or will I be ok as long as they fit? My ruler isn't very good and it's hard to get specific.

Hey guys

I have an older Samsung Syncmaster 205bw monitor that recently has started up with the blink of death. It seems very similar to the case mentioned in the thread about the samsung 225bw monitor, and I believe the monitors are of the same family.

Symptoms:
When you press the power button, the LED turns on for a few seconds, ~4, and starts blinking. The screen would show an image for 2 seconds, blink off to black for another few seconds, another image and back to black. It was working fine...
