Re: 2007FPb - Backlight Flickers - Backlight Shuts Off - Buzzing and Crackling Noises



Ok, yeah I figured I'd try that when I have one disassembled.


That is the logical thing to do. However I only have these two monitors, they're tricky to take apart and reassemble and I'm an invalid who can only manage an hour or so a day at this sort of thing - on a good day.

I can live without one of them for a wee while but not having at least one working for a length of time isn't really an option. Being essentially house-bound (and very...

I've found a few pics of it in other threads. It's a big sucker lying on its side on the PCB.




Agreed. While it may work short-term with the 68uF part it's not advisable to under-rate like that when replacing.



It's bad enough so that I've had it on 100% for a year and it's now difficult to play the game I play mostly (dark and atmospheric).

I have two and have now swapped for the one I had on my...

OK, ~$12 then. (Where "~" is used to mean "approximately equal to") There is one listed there at 10% off for $12.15. I just rounded up to the nearest $5. <shrug>

I'm talking about twin strip kits at least 42cm long, with controller.

Do you know details of the cap I'm asking about?...

Re: 2007FPb - Backlight Flickers - Backlight Shuts Off - Buzzing and Crackling Noises



Thank heaps for this info! I have two of these excellent monitors, both the IPS variant and they've both been slowly getting dimmer over the last couple of years. I'll open the dimmest and replace that big cap and see if that fixes the brightness issue. I don't suppose you remember the lead pitch and available space so I can order the capacitor before taking it out of service?

I will also evaluate it for retro-fitting LEDs while I'm in there - perhaps three of those...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Greetings Folks.

I've been having issues with bad electrolytic capacitors since about 1999 or so. The first motherboard that I replaced the caps on was a Pentium III board - and I've been replacing them on-and-off ever since.

My motivation in joining here was to get access to info about which caps are most likely to be bad (hopefully to save swapping out the wrong ones!) and also to share any info that I've garnered if it's not already here.

So.... Hi! My name is Shaun and I've...
