You can replace the capacitors on the main board but I didn't want to bother so I just sold both monitors and bought IPS panels.

SUCH A KNOWN AND ANNOYING PROBLEM WITH THE 226BWs!!!!! Did you find any solution to that?

The caps are 2x 25v 820uF, 2x 25v 680uF, 1x 25v 330uF. I replaced 3 of mine with hi temp 1000uF 16v for the 820's and a matching hi temp 16v for the 330. They handle 13v so I feel fine with the 16v caps. It works like new now but I still need to replace the 680's.

I have the same problem but when it is cold (when just starting the monitor).

I have to turn it on/off several times until it get warm, then it works fine.

Started to do that 2 months after the end of the 3 years warranty !

I found out what was wrong, you will have to change the capacitors, there is 10 capacitors to change, it's easy if you already have done little soldering. Contact me if you want to know the capacitors values.

Hi Alex, I tried to contact you but you only accept mail from friends, please could you post the capacitor values. Thanks

[haughfamily]

Can you please post the capacitor values and any tips on opening the monitor?

[Alexvideoclip]

820uf 25v and 330uf 25v

I don't remember how many it need, just get 10 of each (capacitors are cheap).

To open the monitor is at the bottom.

@Alexvideoclip I have a samsung 245BW and it flickers. Where do I buy capitators at and how much is it total to to fix? Is there somewhere I can go to read more information about this? Thank you for your help

Hi,

You can easily find the capacitors on Ebay, or maybe Radioshak if they have it.

The capacitors cost only few cents each.

Alex.
