Re: MrFlibbles' Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem

Did a full recap on both boards and the monitor is like new again! I did find a surface mount resistor that looked to be unsoldered but I doubt that was the cause since a few caps were dead/way out of spec. Used Fujitsu solid caps pulled from a dead motherboard and Panasonic FC caps on the logic board and a ebay power board cap kit that were all Nichicon.

Now on to the fan! Can I assume the easiest point to wire to is just the 5V or 12V points on the power board?

Re: MrFlibbles' Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem

Sorry to interrupt this thread again but I was thinking about adding a fan to the power and logic board casing. I'm fairly sure this fan can fit between the two boards

So the question is will it be ok to tap into the 12V or 5V (slower speed in case the noise is to high)? If so what are the safest points to tap into?Re: MrFlibbles' Viewsonic VX2835WM P...g about adding

Re: MrFlibbles' Viewsonic VX2835WM Problem

I'm actually at the same point as MrFibbles. I measured all the caps on the power board and I know for sure some of the caps are dead. I have ordered a cap replacement kit so will post back when I get them in.

Also when I turned on the power after changing C124 and C126, it flickered for a bit and actually turned on with a picture but once I pulled the plug it will now only show a black screen with the backlight still on.
