Re: Philips PHP x19

Hi Sabre504. Personally, I would have put Panasonic caps in as they are top quality. Also if they were, for example, rated at 25v, put in 35v caps. Always go for 105 degree caps too. A higher voltage cap wont cause any damage, a higher capacitance will. Also using overrated components will help long term reliability. But your panel looks like it was getting well hot!!! This can be partially relieved with a computer fan blowing cool air up the back of the monitor or drawing hot air out. ANY air movement is helpful . Hope this helps.

Hello from the UK. I have recently changed 6 very leaky caps on my MSI motherboard. Not as easy as it looked, but now its done, no more BSofD. The pc is now running sweet and reliable. Hope to be of help, if possible, in the future. Regards, Tony.
