Re: Acer P235H / Gateway FHX2300 Monitor power supply ILPI-129 problems

I read in another thread that using a Capacitor within 20% tolerance on the uf rating should work, and i found a listing for a Rubycon Capacitor 450V120UF that used right-angle leads and is the same size as the capacitor currently on the PCB. It should be here within a week, Will report back when i get it.

whoops, this is in the wrong section, please move if necessary

I used 3 acer P235H 23" monitors for Eyefinity up until one of them started going out on me. A few times when it turned on it started flickering on one side, but then stopped as it warmed up. Finally it gave up the ghost and wouldnt stop flickering. Here is a video of it: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWpqbBXcQro[/url]

I don't have the money to replace all three monitors, so id figure id try fixing it instead. i pulled it apart and listened to it during operation with the power supply out. While it flickers it makes noise so i figured i'd look to the output transformers...
