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) | * Excessive transformer hum (This monitor has this issue) | * Excessive inverter hum (This monitor has this issue) | * (Partial replacement may work) Troublesome Auto adjustment (This monitor has this issue) | * 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 (This monitor has this issue) | | == Original capacitor values (Only use these if you do not want to install better caps then the monitor came with) == | * 25V 1000uF (x2) | * 10V 1000uF (x1) | * 25V 220uF (x2) |
