Re: Samsung 205bw - Swollen Caps and Yellow Screen Tint

Have purchased a new power board from China, with the identical part number as the dodgy one in this monitor. Hopefully, that'll fix it. It started blinking on and off every few minutes after it's been on for about half and hour.

Re: Samsung 205bw - Swollen Caps and Yellow Screen Tint

Is this a service you offer, and if so for what sort of price? I'll be driving down to Marysville, OH next week as it goes. Dayton is not so much further on...

PM me if you wish.

Re: Samsung 205bw - Swollen Caps and Yellow Screen Tint

Thanks redwire. I took a look at the service menu you mentioned, and this is what I found:

New
Monitor On Time 6475
Panel Cycle 12507
Panel 6475 (Ch. No - 0)
Upper Lamp 6475
Lower Lamp 6475
Version M-HA20W9BAa-1001

Old
Monitor On Time 6840
Panel Cycle 27304247
Panel 148821 (Ch. No = 1)
Upper Lamp 240
Lower Lamp 56
Version M-HA20W9BIa-1002

The cycles for the old monitor look strangely high?

Hi, I would like an opinion on my 205bw. As you can see from the images, it has some swollen caps on the powerboard, which having searched through these forums is not exactly unusual.

The thing is, I have two 205bw pushed up against each other, giving me a 3360x1050 display. They are both made in 2006, one's August and the other is October. The older one, that I bought used recently, has a yellowy tint to it, a sort of nicotine stain. When it's put to full brightness, I still need to dim the newer one to half brightness, and even then the older one is a bit brown. That's after...
