Re: Viewsonic Optiquest Q19wb

I had the same problem with my Samsung 220wm LCD monitor. I was about ready to chuck it and decided that I would open it up and take a look - since I had nothing to lose if I destroyed it. I noticed that there was a fried
(exploded and unrecognizable) capacitor on the power board (c523 on a ILPI-055 / E59670 board). The adjacent capacitor (c528) looked similar and had "N3 3KV SEC" written on it. I couldn't find a schematic online for my monitor so I did a search on N3 3KV SEC to find out what the capacitance value is for this type...
