| If your AL2216W is acting up, you probably need to replace the power supply capacitors. Here are some signs of bad capacitors. | | If your AL2216W is having problems, it is very likely that it is a capacitor issue. Here are some signs of bad capacitors: | | '''Note:''' While some issues may be corrected with a partial capacitor replacement, this is never recommended - it is better to change all of the caps at the same time to avoid having to repair the same issue multiple times. | | '''Replace all capacitors''' | | * Power issues (This monitor has this issue) | | * Video issues(Examples: Unstable image, Image drops when connected to a computer, does not play nice on higher resolutions, random image drops) | | * Monitor turns off randomly and will not turn on without being unplugged and power drained | | * Excessive transformer hum (This monitor has this issue) | | * Excessive inverter hum (This monitor has this issue) | | * Backlight does not work | | * Backlight problems | | * Power problems | | * Video issues (Examples: Unstable image, Image drops when connected to a computer, does not play nice on higher resolutions, random image drops) | | * Random power issues that may only resolve if the monitor is physically unplugged. | | '''Partial capacitor replacement MAY work (but not recommended)''' | * (Partial replacement may work) Troublesome Auto adjustment issues (This monitor has this issue)
* Power light is unstable (This problem is uncommon. Partial replacement MAY work.)
Note: Even if the issue can be fixed with a partial replacement, the issues will continue re-occurring until all of the capacitors are replaced.
'''== Original capacitor values (SuppliedOnly use these if you do not want to go up in uF and want to matchinstall better caps then the old capsmonitor came with)''' == | | * 25V 1000uF (x2) | | * 10V 1000uF (x1) | | * 25V 220uF (x2) |
