Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

I just fixed my PSU changing out all of the caps for this model and here are quality caps I used and worked perfectly for mine.

[CODE]Samsung SyncMaster 245BW
========================

Power Supply Board assembly Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
------------------------------------------------------------
(1) CP801S 82uF 450WV 105 C Panisonic-ECG EET-ED2W820CA
(cap requires a hot iron with large tip)

(1) CM857 1000uF 10V...

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW

@Toasty,

That is exactly what I did as my first step and it turns out to have fixed the problem for almost $10 bucks worth of quality caps. I did screw up on one cap though that I didn't replace since I thought it was a 2.2uF and turned out to be a 22uF. It was right next to the 2.2uF cap and I could barely see the 2 2uF on it so since it was the same size can I assumed, shame on me, that it was also 2.2uF.

Here is the list of caps, there location, value, and manufacture part#'s I used for my rebuild. The monitor works fantastic...

Thanks guys for the quick response, I'll figure out what electrolytic's I need from the inverter board and replace all of them. Since DigiKey is in my state I get quick service so I'll do it tonight and hopefully that will fix it.

Otherwise I may need to replace all three transformers I would guess? If I'm following you correctly.

Again thanks guys!

I too have the same monitor and it will turn on and stay on but the screen blanks out after several seconds. If I turn it off for a bit and turn it back on it may start displaying video again, but is questionable if it stays on and is getting worst. So like the other two I thought I'd pull it apart and try to get a schematic to repair and came across this wonderful site with experienced people with monitor repair. I have an electrical degree but haven't played with circuit diagnostics for many years.

I've gone through the initial readings...
