Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all
Just discovered this forum, While debugging a Dell U3011 30" monitor, the notorious black screen.

as a retired EE, 50 years of design and consulting, I enjoy restoration of classic test equipment, Tektronix scopes etc.

The electrolytic capacitor lifetime is inverse proportional to the ripple current and ESR due to internal heating, the ambient temperature and the quality of the capacitor, especially the sealing and temperature rating.


With Kind Regards...
