Re: Asus VW222U

hi guys.

I was wondering if any1 can help me find out what this little thing is called?

I think its just a ceramic capacitor, but when i google search the numbers on it, I get no relevant returns.



there are 2 of these, the other 1 is burnt black. I plan to replace both

I'd really appreciate any help, I use this monitor loads and cant afford a new 1 right now....

Re: Asus VW222U

thanks for the replies !
So fasT !

retiredcaps, am i correct in thinking that there is no way to test caps while in place ? is the best way to test them, just to replace them ? this may be a silly question, sorry if it is.

Also, I have had a nasty jolt from a screen before. would it be bad practice to connect a cable to the earth prong of a wall socket and run the exposed end along the board before work ? I was thinking this may ground the board and components before working with it and hopefully avoiding a surprise shock. I'm not...

can this be a caps issue ? all of the caps seem to look fine, could they be faulty even if they dont show the usual popped up bit on the top ?

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks !Re: Asus VW222U<br /> <br /> hi, <...ing on. <br />

Re: Asus VW222U

hi guys.

I have a VW222s, has the exact same board in it.

Mine does not have the same fault. Mine turns on for about 4 seconds, then it tuns off. it does not look like the backlight has gone off and it is just very dark, there does not seem to be anything at all on the screen.

I repair laptops for a living and often have to replace DC jacks or usb ports, i have also replaced a few popped caps on monitors to get them working again.

On my vW222s I can not see any obviously popped caps. I'm no expert on...
