Introduction |
| If your Acer monitor is acting up, you probably have a case of bad or failing capacitors. Here are some signs of bad capacitors | | If your AL2216W is acting up, you probably need to replace the capacitors. Here are some signs of bad capacitors. | | * Power issues (No power, for example)* | | * Video issues(Image stability, doesn't stay on when plugged into a computer, resolution specific issues, image drops at random)* | | * Auto adjustment issues | | * Power light is unstable all the time (Not common. However, this can happen.) | | * Unplugging it to get it to work becomes a problem | | * Excessive transformer/inverter hum* | | | * Power issues | | * No power | | * Video issues(stability, doesn't stay on when plugged into a computer, resolution, random image dropping, etc.) | | * auto adjustment issues | | * Power light flickers slightly | | * Random problems | | * it has to be unplugged from the wall frequently | | * Transformer hum* | | * Inverter hum* | | NOTE: If you have a problem with a * next to it, replace all of them no matter what the condition is. | | *If you have any of these problems, replace all the caps no matter the condition of them. In mine I found 2 that didn't look bad blew from the bottom. This is reason enough to say this. | | The one in the guide has automatic adjustment issues and some power issues when hooked up to a computer. It also had transformer hum problems. This monitor has been opened before so this one was easier. If you have never opened it this tends to be a pain for the first time. | | This one is having automatic adjustment issues, power issues when hooked up to a computer and transformer hum problems. I already took this apart to check the capacitors, so it will be easier then one that was never opened before. This monitor can be a pain the first time.
