Re: Phillips 190CW LCD Screen Clicking/Ticking

You're right - Rubycon.

To your other question - the "green" light stays constant - doesn't revert to any flashing.

But ... I did shake the monitor and nothing loose bangs around as suggested.

Had to pull the cobwebs off the metre - doesn't work either for some reason (even after battery change). Haven't used it for awhile and it was in the garage for the last 3 years, so I think it has some moisture damage (winters in Aus can get really damp!).

I thought bad caps...

Re: Phillips 190CW LCD Screen Clicking/Ticking

Just to add to my previous post - i changed the two caps next to the transformer - CLICKING HAS DISAPPEARED!! You were right, so the PSU is operation again.

But...

Screen now has reverted to an amber orange colour for a couple of seconds, and then switches off.

Complete cap replacement on the videoboard next point of order?

Re: Phillips 190CW LCD Screen Clicking/Ticking

Will do those tests and get back to you - I'll probably change the little caps too just to see if it nips this problem in the bud.

The brand of cap I used was a Rubyson - identical specs to the one i replaced.

I just don't understand why it went from an orange screen to a clicking noise.

Shook the monitor - no noise of anything flailing about. Also, the orange screen it had prior to cap removal suggests thats not it either either.

Thanks for your help all - this is one hell...

Hi PlainBill,

Thanks for responding - really appreaciate it.

Uploaded pics as per your links - tried to get as close as possible to res type using microsoft viewer. If the pics aren't good enough, I'll upload from a different pc that has adobe lightroom on it.

Hi All,
Would love a little help if possible.

Have the above screen, which dropped off the stand and hit the desk pretty hard, and stopped displaying a picture.

The green LED would light up on the front, and the screen would flash amber/orange if you attached/re-attached the dvi plug, but then revert to a black screen.

Opened it up and saw a bulged capacitor on the video board - bought the exact same replacement, soldered it on and then turned the pc on while it was still in parts (with no earth admitedly, but it was only a test and i made sure...
