Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

You guys have been great! So much help! I just completed replacing every capacitor on the board and on the inverter. No issues thanks to your soldering advice! I turner her on and I was shocked that it worked perfect. I guess I set my expectations low

This forum has a true purpose for all of us out there in need of help I am grateful to you all! Keep it up!

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

Okay I got my caps today. Now, taking into account I don't have years of experience removing old caps (kind of tricky with two points that need to be heated enough to remove the old cap) and soldering in the new ones (not so hard), the more caps I swap out the higher the chance of an error or a complication... Are there any of these caps that are the "usual suspects" that cause the flickering (the type of flickering that becomes less frequent the longer the monitor is on or the lower the brightness is) or should I just go for bank and do them...

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW



Would you suggest buying this kit:

[url]http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Repair-Kit-Samsung-SyncMaster-245BW-LCD-Monitor-Capacitors-P2070088.aspx[/url]

And then adding the 82uF 450V (which he explains why he excludes it from Kit)?

Or just itemize them all on Digikey and go that route?Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW<br /> ...088.aspx[/url]...

Wow. Alright, I'll give it a try! Thank you PlainBill

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

First of all Toast, thank you for the warm welcome!

I accessed the service menu. The on time is 32 hours. Doesn't seem like that much... I replaced the capacitors with NTE's from Frye's (including the 82uF 450V). I will have to return to Frye's to pick up the 220uFs for the inverter board to give that a shot. I don't know how to check caps with my multimeter (if its even possible).

Also I would like to note two more characteristics of the flickering symptom: (1) the flickering begins at a rate 5 -10 times second when I...

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

I replaced all the caps on my flickering 245BW power supply as well as the infamous trio resistors. Yet the flickering continues just the same, no improvement.

There are four 220uF caps on the inverter. Should I replace those as well? I haven't seen any discussion on the inverter caps and flickering problem. Everybody has had so much success replacing the caps on the power supply I fear this will not help me... Any thoughts?
