Re: Hanns-G HG281D, LCD Monitor no power

Replacing those two caps worked great (two hours into testing). Thanks Lumberjack and Budm.

Videoman5, I just happen to have the list I made for mine right in front of me. As selldoor pointed out this may or may not apply to your board but you can probably compare yours to mine on the previous page to see if they appear the same.

Mainboard:
3x 16v 470uF
5x 16v 100uF
12x 16v 10uF

PSU: Mine is apparently one of at least two different models.
2x 35v 1000uF
2x 16v 1000uF...

Powered on, perfect picture, changed the resolution to 800x600x60Hz, flickering started immediately. Changed res to 1280x800x60 and 20 minutes in, no problems. Probably just coincidence.

Edit: Started back up, doesn't look nearly as bad, but till doing it.

Re: Hanns-G HG281D, LCD Monitor no power

Lumberjack, the board you linked looks a tad different from mine.
I'm a little lost as to which caps I should start with on mine. I've got a ton of old parts to practice soldering while I wait on replacement parts to arrive so I'm going to attempt the job myself. Need to learn one way or other.

I'm about to put it all back together and try a lower resolution. Should I leave the refresh at 60Hz?

Thanks for your help, guys.

Re: Hanns-G HG281D, LCD Monitor no power



The boards are mine, the lighting wasn't ideal and I'm working with a phone for a camera.

I've tried it on another PC (it's on another one now). I've been using it as a secondary monitor so I could easily watch it's behavior....

Re: Hanns-G HG281D, LCD Monitor no power

My monitor is just outside of warranty and decided to start flickering both vertically and horizontally. The picture will come on and off several times until the monitor heats up a little then it will stay on and start the jittering/flickering. The picture will sometimes be perfect for a short period after it stops going on and off.

I've spent some time reading through some of this thread and it seems that bad capacitors are the likely culprit. I have very little electronic experience and my soldering skills are lacking....
