Re: Samsung 2s to black - semi resolved

I used nichicon capacitors.

After further testing. I've been able to use it at 100% brightness for over an hour now. It just switched off. I checked to see if I could see anything with a torch and the picture is still there, but the backlight is off.

When turning it off and on again, the picture worked so I lowered the brightness to 0%. Theres a soft buzzing now, and as I increase the brightness back to 100%, the buzzing fades. The moment it gets to 100% brightness, the buzzing is completely gone.

Hi, this is my first time posting. I hope this is in the right area.

I recently got a faulty samsung 2333swplus monitor that had the dreaded 2s to black issues.

After reading a thread on here, I decided to test my luck and replace the capacitors. I replaced 7 of the 9 'normal' capacitors. Sorry, I'm not too sure of the terminology. Just the cylinder looking ones.

Put it all back together, NOTHING! :'(. Same issue. So i continue reading online and someone suggested to lower the brightness. ... it worked!!

So now I can use the monitor,...
