Re: Samsung 305T - Video Distortions

I disassembled my 305T and removed the video board. I sent it to a reballer who removed the ALTERA chip, replaced its solder balls with 63/37 leaded solder, and reflowed it. I paid about $50 for labor + shipping.

I reinstalled the video board and the monitor worked perfectly for ~48 hours. Then it began exhibiting problems again -- vertical bands of color somewhat like a TV test pattern.

I don't blame the reballer. He had no way to test his work. We both knew that, and we agreed that he'd do his best. He offered to rework...

Re: Samsung 305T - Video Distortions

Muratus, now that a year has passed, can you tell us what happened with your monitor? Was it the caps? The solder? Excessive heat?

I ask because my 305T is failing in the same way, and it'd be nice to know how you fixed yours.

thx!
