Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW



Okay, thanks for the tips. But I think I'll just roll with this for a while and wait and see if something goes wrong, I'd like to observe the effects firsthand. I'll post back here and share the actual effects in there are any....

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 225BW

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 226cw that was giving me the "on for a second then dies" routine until I cycle the power enough times to warm it up. When it did stay on, it was rather dim. There was also a squealing sound that would happen sometimes.

Popped it open, checked the power board and saw all but two of the CapXon capacitors were bulging. Fortunately I have a good local electronics store, and they had all the parts I needed. Unfortunately they were rather expensive ($2.70 US for one 820uF cap ) and I spent $20 for 9 caps....
