Greeting fellow badcaps friends!

I've got an ASUS PA238QR with issues. The monitor front panel LED turns on; and the backlight turns on; but then both turn off after a few seconds. No input shows, no OSD menu.

After taking the monitor apart, visual inspection of the capacitors showed nothing abnormal. All caps and other components on both the switched-mode power supply and logic board look fine. I checked capacitance with a multimeter, and all of them look fine. I also checked the resistors, diodes and fuses while I was at it, and those are fine.

I was able to fix my flaky 225BW by reading this thread. Thanks all!

Re: Xfx 9800 gt

I put in a ticket on it with XFX, but I'd like to cover my bases in case I can't get it replaced.

I'll get a picture of the card soon.

Hi folks, first time poster.

I have a XFX 9800 GT (PV-T98G-YDLU) that refuses to get past POST any more. There is no visible damage to anything. Based on other posts about XFX products, I'm guessing there might be some bad caps.

Here are the caps:

3x "A 84E" 1500/2.5v silver/blue
1x "A 83X" 1200/4v silver/blue
1x "A 83H" 330/16v silver/blue
1x "8N2 jFK." 1500 silver/black - this cap has very fine lines on the top, possible damage?
1x "8D2 CFK." 470 silver/black
