Re: Vizio LP2626/VMM26-F20I (after thoughts)

I had a similar situation, in my case however, c504 was clearly fried. (c504 is a 12pF, 3000 volt ceramic disc capacitor.)

This monitor was not made to come apart. Don't forget to take out the deep screws. After the screws are out, it's going to take some cautious brute force prying with flat blade screwdrivers (it's good to have several). Start at the bottom speaker grill where the flat spots are and work your way all around. After that, it's downhill.

Thanks for the above and good luck anyone trying to...
