RJ, thank you for your help and input. Also, the regulator lessons and how they function.
It also encouraged me to look a little further to learn some more besides just replacing "caps".
Capleaker, thank you for the 'snubber cap' information, I would have replaced it but then that's why I inquired here first. I actually 'thought' I had something when it tested open. Live and learn!
I've got a Dell F177FPE that went dead, it won't power on.
There's no power "on" light or anything.
I took it apart and the caps all 'look' good but they're all cheap Su'scon's or Teapo's.
While doing some basic tests of the board I found a Ceramic capacitor that shows open with the ohm meter, so I'm hoping that's the cause of my no power up problems. I included pics of the failed cap and it's location on the board.
My question / problem is I've never replaced or dealt with these type of capacitors so I want to know if I'm reading it correctly...
We have a Samsung 60" LED flat screen that suddenly lost it's picture. We have sound but can't get a picture.
No Picture what so ever, no menu, no smart hub.
I have removed the back and I can't see any physical problems or obvious signs of a failure.
I noticed the T-con board has 3 LED's; LED-1 comes on / off with the TV being turned 'on' / 'off'. LED-2 blinks one time real fast when the TV is turned on. LED-3 has never come since I took the back off. I don't know if that helps or means anything!
this is an update to the Dell 1800mp cap replacement I did 6 years ago.
I replaced the Ost 10v-3300uF Cap with a Panasonic 10v-3300uF FM series and all went well; the projector was up and running for the last 6 yrs but now it's down again with the Panasonic cap failed.
alongside the Panasonic cap is a Ltec 25v-680uF that has failed so I'm going to replace all the caps around the 10v-3300uF so maybe we'll get a little more than 6 more yrs out of it or we've stopped using it by then.
