Re: Viewsonic VX1962wm, I think it just needs caps, need confirmation

Thank you all so much for your superb help. I now know much more about capacitors and related stuff. I've ordered the caps, so they should be here thursday or so, then I'll put them in.

Thanks again!

Re: Viewsonic VX1962wm, I think it just needs caps, need confirmation

The green ones are GF series and the black ones are KF series. I notice 2 different types of caps on digikey that seem to fit the specs of these: ones that look very similar to these, and shorter, fatter silvery ones. are those better/worse/different at all?

Also, what's a good way to disengage the caps from the white glue/cement stuff that seems to be everywhere?

You mention six different models that should work well, does it matter which ones I get, or are they all good?

So, do you think that mosfet is working properly? Is it supposed to discolor the board?

Also, there are many types of caps for sale on digikey, which kind do I get? I'm assuming aluminum, but I'm not sure.

Hi, I have a vx1962wm.
It turns on for a few seconds, then goes black; the power light stays blue. I can turn it off and then back on, and the picture will reappear for a few seconds again, then go black again.
There is a high pitched electrical sound from it when it is on and the picture is showing, the sound dies when the picture dies.
I have read some threads here and it seems that I am another victim of CapXon. Two of the caps seem to be bad, the other 4 look good, including the big filter cap.

However, there is also a dark area on the board with a part...
