Re: Acer P243W A - Help needed

thx for the quick reply.

those two big caps still being C855, C856 next to L801 right ?

did you try to further glue that L801 coil ?

i would assume that those caps have an impact on the coil behavior so removing them would change the noise emitted. Or maybe the coil being glued to the caps, as shown on your picture, makes things worse.

I haven't disassembled the monitor yet, i'm browsing the web prior to doing anything.
I'll try to take a look at it over the weekend and get back to...

Re: Acer P243W A - Help needed



thx for the info.
Did you manage to further isolate or fix the noise on that power supply ?

got me a cheap second hand unit of this monitor p243w.
i do have the humming noise as soon as the power cord is plugged in (monitor off) and would like to fix it, i expect it to be some coil in the rectifier area, i usually glue them to death....
