on a hunch i tried heating it up w/ a hair dryer that works.. i let it sit for 4 hrs nothing.. i hit it w/ hair dryer less than 5 min it was working tried it the next day didn't let it set at all it worked right away w/ the the heat. why is this??
wonder if u have seen a screen that is really bright,and mostly gray,and colors are pinkish and almost none existant,it was doing the turn off thing for a while i would have to turn it on and off repeaditly for it to come on,then one day it tried to come on doing that trick,but the colors were all messed up that bright gray thing,so i replaced the bad cap,and it does come on now,but the colors are messed up.is there any other parts i should replace u can think of,no other parts look bad
@agdthatguy The last time I saw one go pink it needed a new screen. I would research that model on Google and see if anyone else has the same problem.
I have a question. My monitor is viewsonic and some of the capacitors are what believe is weld with white plastics, Can i replace these capacitors with solders or i must find that white plastic?
The whole varistor is covered in white plastic and i'm having a hard time getting the varistor out. Is it safe to use the soldering gun and melt the white plastic inorder to pull it out? thanks for your reply
I just repaired my Westinghouse monitor using this method. Look on ebay for the model number of the MOTHERBOARD (not your monitor, sometimes they have different mobos in them), and a lot of times you can find repair kits for them.
Basically, they sell you all the capacitors you need, if you're unsure what you looking for.
@HankHillCrankCalls DuckmanCycles, Ducktuber, SkeeterTheDuck, I've also appeared on other peoples' channels,too. My voice is unique though, like if Kermit the Frog and Alan Alda had a baby.... lol!
@guitarbridgecleaner the capacitor you order or bought is the axil type you need a radial type check this site mouser.com most radial type caps the pins comes out on the same end and the negative side is always painted white or with a stripe. You can change all caps and the monitor will be like new. If you need further i could be reach at orleans38@hotmail.com
@diekill42 Sounds more like you have a bad video cable, bad video card, or a computer that doesn't POST at all. If you see that message, then your monitor is probably working just fine.
hi there.great video...I have a strange problem. I have a viewsonic va1916w.When I turn it on it does work normally for 3 maybe 5 minutes and after the screen goes off but the indicating light stays on. I turn off and then on again the monitor with the power on button and then it turns on again and after that it does the same thing. I replaced a damaged capacitor but it didn;t solve the problem. Could you give me any idea of how to solve this. Thank you in advance.
Hello i was wondering when replacing do i need to keep them all the same voltage or is it ok if some are 35 and others are 50... all the ones on my inverter are 25v but i cant find any that are 25volt
I saw and enjoyed your video on how to repair a lcd monitor. I have a Dell 19 inch 1907fp monitor that cracked on me. Where would I buy a replacement screen? Also would you have a idea of a price range for same screen.
the monitor powers up and I still get an image just a big crack in the middle. The glass is ok too.
"Higher voltage will make these things last longer. You'll get a much longer lifetime out of them."
Most capacitors that die are based on a bad formula. It was a huge epidemic because those caps were used for years while CE manufacturers had no idea. Before that, it was pretty unusual for caps to die unless the device was hit by a power surge or other catastrophic failure.
@jevansturner Electrolytic capacitors are generally more likely to go bad even without the incomplete stolen formula. It why mother boards with "all solid-state capacitors" go for a premium price even over those bragging about "all Japanese caps" (the faulty ones were all Chinese/Taiwanese).
I never even installed my Philips AmBX system (out of warranty now) but I had it plugged in and quit working Sat or Sun (yesterday). When I power on, I get a flash from the lights with a loud "pop" from the speakers and it's right back off. Similarly, my Logitech z680s died before I ever used 'em. I suspected caps.
@vvtheduckvv I rec'd video but it isn't interesting enough to post (I didn't fix anything). :(
The only components w/electrolytic caps were modular & shouldn't be needed to pwr-on, so I disconnected 'em & the essentials still kick off as soon as I press pwr. The main PCB seems to be all solid-state & ceramic caps, so I'm not sure where to go from here beyond just buying a replacement. I still don't know which item TO replace.
I have the 24" version of that LCD (OEM/Office Depot exclusive).
@CZroe The next most common thing to burn out in Acer monitors is the inverter transformer. They tend to overheat and short out. Usually there is signs of heat damage on the board near the transformer, though thats not always the case. I believe the outside windings should measure 1k ohm, and the inside about 1ohm, check the specs of your corresponding transformer. I have the 22" version of this monitor, and the transformer is bad. Thats next on the slate for repair. They are ike $22
@vvtheduckvv My Acer monitor is fine. ;) The Philips AmBX isn't fine. :( It's a strange device that provides ambient effects and feedback for games, music, and movies delivered with fans, lights, and a wrist rumbler plus a built-in 2.1 speaker system (they do sell speaker-less versions). The good news is that I may have a warranty after all: Woot.com said it was only 1 year but the papers inside said 2 years!
@vvtheduckvv I been trying to fix this with spare parts for five months. If you ain't him I am sure you were sent by him. Same difference. Glory be to goodness people- pay it forward and you might just find you're paying yourself.
@MrTomx123 Thanks! Yes the iron needs cleaning, it had just burned a hole through the rubber handle on my pliers, LOL! I've never been good about cleaning the thing.
Thanks for the video, I'm having the same problem with my Dell 2007WFP
I've stripped it down and removed the various boards. Problem is the caps look totally fine on all of them.
Can the caps be bad, but have no bulge?
If that's the case, I take it my next step should be to remove them one by one and test them?
Thanks again ;)

@cookiemonster31377 There's probably a broken connection somewhere, the expansion from the heat is enough to close the gap.
