Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

Just wanted to give a heads up on my repair. New caps arrived yesterday. I was originally going to have a friend do the soldering for me, but decided I would give it a shot even though I haven't soldered anything other than plumbing in years. Took the time to watch some tutorials and bought the items I needed. It's a nice rainy day due to Tropical Storm Lee, so I took my time, had a beer and knocked it out. Proud to say, everything is working like new! Thanks again for putting together and maintaining such a great resource as this forum. Cheers!

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

Wonderful thread here. Spent the last 2 nights digesting it all. I have a Samsung 225BW that started to behave badly and my research lead me here. I took it apart last night to discover all those dreaded leaking caps! I've made a list of the capacitors on my board to be replaced. (all of them besides the big one) I've also gone to Digikey and believe I have picked the correct parts out. I would appreciate any input on this. If I've totally screwed up and picked the wrong stuff feel free to point, laugh, and make jest! I can take it.
