Re: Samsung LCD Syncmaster 226BW

Hello all,

I would just like to thank everyone who assisted me with this problem. This morning I got my capacitor replacements and I went ahead and replaced them. I took my time and it looks like everything went well. I turned it on and it is fully working and brighter then ever.

Re: Samsung LCD Syncmaster 226BW

Thank you for the suggestions mariushm. I have not ordered them just yet, I was actually waiting for comments as I was a bit unsure. I have swapped out the 820uF with the FM and the 680uF to the FR based on your recommendations. I'm ordering multiple of each because I actually have 2 additional 226BWs here that are starting to show the same signs.

Re: Samsung LCD Syncmaster 226BW

I took apart the monitor tonight. Was a bit frustrating to do but I eventually got there. There were 2 possibly 3-4 bad capacitors on the board.

Here is the info for all the capacitors.

1. 330u 25v 10mm x 15mm
2. 820u 25v 10mm x 20mm
3. 820u 25v 10mm x 20mm
4. 680u 25v 10mm x 17mm
5. 680u 25v 10mm x 17mm
6. 47u 50v 5mm x 10mm
7. 150u 450v 20mm X 42mm

On the old forum post I found this list here from someone named Plainbill. His list seems to be identical to mine but his...

I will upload images later tonight when I take the monitor apart as well as the information for the busted capacitors. I took a look at Mouser.com and I think I understand the measurements being used like the Capacitance (uF) and voltage. Still unsure if I need to know what tolerance and termination style mean. As for a manufacturer it seems Panasonic is used a lot for replacement parts for this monitor.

Re: Samsung LCD Syncmaster 226BW

So as long as I match this uF and size I should be fine? I did look at the digikey website but I really have no idea what I'm looking for. There seems to be all sorts of types with tens of thousands in each category. I know nothing of this type of hardware other than the bit of information you just told me. Would it at all be possible to get some suggestions on the capacitors I would need to purchase?

Hello,

I have a 226BW with the dreaded flickering. I have taken the time to look into this issue and I stumbled across some older posts from this forum indicating that the capacitors need to be replaced. While the older posts did have some good information I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing. There is mention of several variations of the board where some capacitors won't even fit due to size limitations. So as of now I feel very confused on what type of capacitors I will need. I'm looking at replacing the majority of them on the power supply board (I think I'm correct).
