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. |
* Power issues (This monitor has this issue) |
* Excessive transformer hum (This monitor has this issue) |
* Excessive inverter hum (This monitor has this issue) |
* 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. |
|
== 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) |
