I missed one on the list. I did not see the printing on the PCB. It is the 1500u (3rd one from the line up) that is not deformed. I replaced it with 1500u/16V FM....
So, you saying basically add this in parallel with the LED strip inside. This draws enough current to keep the BL on. This also allow one to inspect the LEDs inside the panel to see how many are dead.
I did cheezy fix like this before on LCD monitor with the older fluorescent tubes too. One of the two top tube was open and shutting off the backlight. I found a tube from another LCD monitor that is slightly smaller in size. I had the "lamp" externally hanging inside the monitor, above the electronics....
This TV needs a firmware update. You need to take it to the nearest Viewsonic service center. They should have the jig and firmware to flash it. Getting another eeprom chip that still has the old f/w is not the solution....
Got this for supposing to be a fan cleaning. User said it got overheated and shuts off.
Cleaned out the fur balls on the fan. Took off the heatsink and removed the "silver foil" that was actually pinched/ripped. Applied AS and reinstall.
However, the laptop actually cannot stay on with any kind of heavy load.
It can stay on the BIOS screen for a long time. The fan kicks in every now and then when the heatsink for the CPU is getting warm. As soon as the heatsink is cooler, the fan shuts off.
I found the exact pix under the Elite brand. However, I can't find this series in the Chinsan site.
Anyway, my microESR meter says they have quite low combined ESR resistance (in circuit) and the total capacitance does come out ok. So I will leave these Elite alone and replace the KZG first to see...
Got this motherboard for a possible recap. No bulging caps yet. However, this board will not POST once power off. You need to wait 1/2 a day or more with AC off. Already tried another P/S with similar result. Once working ,it will stay on 24/7. Reboot also works but just don't do a normal shutdown if you want to start it up again w/o the long wait.
I see there are 3x KZG 1500uF 16V at the VRM. I will replace these with HZ series.
There are 5 what appears to be poly caps with the marking Cs. Followed by UPS 820uF 2.5V. I've never see this brand...
It's probably a p/s. Sorry I have not been able to find a schematic.
OTOH, replace the 2 caps on the Main board C124 & C126. They've been know to mushrrom.
