Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
Ok, thank you for that offer, it's really good of you. I'll have a look online first to see if I can find somewhere else in Cardiff, surely Maplin can't be the only company here. especially if they're dodgy.
I've just put the monitor back together till after the weekend and it's working again at the moment so I didn't manage to break anything.
I'll be sure to let you know how I get on but there doesn't seem to be any components near those caps so I think I should be OK with a small soldering iron so a trip to Maplin...

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
Looks like I might have to go to Maplin then, at least I wont have it going out on me, I can't use this 15" much longer. Don't get me started on PC world either. the prices are ridiculous like you say.
I built myself a computer two years ago (surprising how easy it was) and saved an absolute fortune going online. Same with Dixons mind, they wanted over £10 for a usb lead which I got online for less than £2, no wonder they're on the rocks.
I just noticed your rank "Badcaps veteran" you certainly...Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
I remember a friend at school used to build loads of gadgets he was always looking through the component book you mentioned and he got all his stuff mail order from them. They were really fast too, next day delivery at no extra cost for small items so you're right about being short sighted, with their old reputation they could probably have cornered the market.
I would like to get the best quality caps I can as I don't plan on doing this again soon, would that Farnell you mentioned send out such a small order if I can't find...Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
I'm surprised about Maplin, I thought they were pretty good so I'll see if there's any better suppliers here in Cardiff.
Thank you so much for all tour help Tom, I really didn't think I would be able to do this but you have talked me through it wonderfully.
I'll get on replacing them after the weekend as I have a lot on but I'll be sure to let you know how I get on.Leave a comment:

"t is the startup cap"
Is it the one on it's own, the resin around the pins has discoloured, looks like it might have overheated.
Would they be different values, I think the one on it's own says 50v 2.2 uF I can't see the other values until I get them out.Last edited by NeilH; 06-08-2012, 05:14 PM.Leave a comment:

There are some small bee capacitors one end and some larger brown tubular ones the other, which ones need changing?Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
OK, got that off, there's two plates that look like heat sinks, one near where the power goes in and a smaller one the other end.Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
I can afford the capacitors, it's just a new monitor that would be a problem but thank you very much.
Could you advise me of which caps I need to order, I don't have a clue which ones need replacing either but I guess I can tell when I have the new ones as I guess they will be very similar to the ones on the pcb.Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
Thanks, I'll do that
Also i forgot to ask, what caps should I get and how many are there, I can't find it mentioned in the thread?Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
I understand, what if I leave it on and just let it power down when I turn off the computer, will it last any longer?
Also how difficult is it to change the capacitors, I could possibly borrow a soldering iron and there is a Maplin store close where I could get them.
At least it's working now, any more use is a bonus until I get some spare cash in.Leave a comment:

Re: Hanns-G HG281D 28" TFT - Multiple Problems
I registered to say a huge thank you to everyone in this thread but to Mikeley in particular.
I had the problem where I couldn't restart my Hanns-G and was convinced that it was gone for good but decided to look on the internet just in case and came across this thread.
As I haven't got the skill or equipment to fix the capacitors mentioned I was relieved to see Mikeley's suggestion of warming them. Nervous about opening the case I removed the stand and rested the monitor against the radiator and after about...Leave a comment:
