Re: Hanns-G 28" monitor 10 seconds to black issue

Thanks for taking the time to suggest this. However, I think soldering wire bridges across the capacitor holes is going to be very tricky. Would small pieces of component leg wire be suitable?

Re: Hanns-G 28" monitor 10 seconds to black issue

Thanks for all the replies. I'll read them more carefully. In the meantime I've attached a couple of photos. I've done repairs to broken tracks before, but what I'm concerned about is that because the hole is now too big, I may make connection to two tracks when the new capacitors are soldered in.

And I've found out that Hanspree EU won't supply spares. All they offer is a repair service. Maybe I'll send them the logic board if I can't make good what I've done....

Re: Hanns-G 28" monitor 10 seconds to black issue

Thanks for posting this information...very useful. However, getting the old capacitors out was more difficult than expected. Then I needed to clear the PCB holes from debris and solder. I used a drill bit that was slightly too large. So now two out of the four the capacitor lead holes open to two PCB tracks rather just one.

Any suggestions as to what I might be able to do to fix my impatience and stupidity? I've already looked into to getting a new logic board, but that doesn't seem easy either.
