Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Sorry again for the lengthy delay responding, but to put some closure to this, I got the CCFL tubes and I am currently using the screen

There is a little snag though... (isn't there always) I overtightened the 3 screws at the back of the casing (didn't realise initially) and during the night my screen cracked in the lower left hand corner

Luckilly it was only 10mm in and 20mm up, so I was able to adjust resolution to suit and have taped off the damaged area. It's not perfect,...

Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Just as a bit of an update, I decided to pull the monitor further apart as I was convinced there had to be something else wrong. It seems I was right as at least 2 of the CCFL tubes were defective.

Going to order some replacements and see if I can get it up and running. If I can I will try to take some good images of the process and post them up.

Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Thanks again for the help. I just replaced it as that was what was a suggested option - I know, I should've tested it but I just assumed it would get me going again.

As for the CCFL's, from what I can see my screen only has 2 (one top, one bottom) with a pink wire and blue wire running to each, which both terminate in 2 seperate plastic connector blocks on the board.

I take it I have to wire these correctly, as in pink and blue together in one block? Surely they are not individual...

Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Thanks for the response. I am going to get a multi-meter and test the new transformer to make sure its not a dud.

With regards the CCFL's, I don't have any spare, but I did try plugging them in independantly and swapping them over in the board, but it displayed the same symptoms each time.

I will get some pics up over the next few days as the panel is back together again at the moment.

Guys, just a bit of an update. Got the new transformer and installed it, but still no dice

The monitor still has the 2 seconds to black issue, so not sure what to try next.

Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Thanks again guys, put my mind at rest. So can I assume these should be ok to use? Oh by the way that is the lens playing tricks, the large capacitor is perfectly flat - I just checked it.

EDIT - caps replaced, seems to be fine, but still have the 2 seconds to black issue, so just need to wait for the new transformer and see if it gets me back in business.

Re: Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Okay, here are the pics as promised. The last one is a pic of a capacitor that I replaced last week, I think it's a decent Panasonic version, and if so, I take it that one should be fine and not need replaced with this batch?

Thanks again and I hope the pics are ok....

Will these capacitors be ok, or is the size difference a problem?

Guys, first post so please be gentle

I need to replace the caps (and maybe the transformer) in my Samsung SM206BW PSU.

The 3 Capxon caps were replaced a couple of years ago by a neighbour, which fixed the flickering problems, however now it has developed what I believe to be 2 seconds to black.

Anyway, the caps in there now (ones that were replaced before) are the following...

2 - [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120544294829[/url]

I was going to replace...
