Re: Hanns-G HG281D, LCD Monitor no power

Ok thanks a bunch. I will order both capacitors but probably only replace the one I just did for now since that solved my problem. That one will be easy to get back out.
It doesn't take long to take the monitor apart once you have done it. That through hole sucking the solder out is very difficult. I couldn't get anywhere with the normal soldering pencil, so I picked up a de-soldering tool with a turkey baster attached to it. The tip is hollow and fits neatly right over the soldering joint.
You would think that would be enough,...

Pretty sure the cap would be low ESR.
From about 2007 it became common for better-quality computer motherboards to use only polymer capacitors where wet electrolytics had been used previously. I am just not sure about the smaller physical size of the capacitor. This one was real small. I didn't replace C80 because I had such a hard time with 83 that I was pretty sure I had destroyed the board already.

After discovering it solved the blinking problem, I think I will wait to see if any further problems develop before...

First time poster here.
Wanted to thank you all for the help. Only had to replace C83 and problem fixed. Mine had a blinking problem when coming out of standby. It would come out ok, and then in about 5 to 10 seconds it would go black for a few seconds and then come back on again. It would repeat this several times before finally staying on.
Once on, it would be fine until next time it had to come out of standby.
Seemed to be getting worse.

Un soldering 83 was a lot harder than removing the capacitors...
