| [title] Discharging the old capacitors | |
| - | [* black] Unplug the cables from the monitor and let it sit for ***at least 24-48 hours. This required to drain the power supply. 48 hours is usually sufficient for LCD monitors. If you ordered your capacitors online, do not open the monitor until they come to allow additional discharge time.*** |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***Failure to follow this can result in injury, or even death. These capacitors can hold quite a bit of energy! The filter capacitor will get you the easiest! Failure to follow this step will put you at risk for injuries or even death!*** If you do not feel comfortable attempting this stop here! I am not responsible for any injuries or death! |
| + | [* black] Unplug the cables from the monitor and let it sit for ***at least 24-48 hours.*** This is required to drain the power supply and is usually sufficient for LCD monitors ***you are not replacing the filter capacitor on. Failure to follow this step will put you at risk of injury or death!*** |
| + | [* black] If you plan on potentially replacing the filter capacitor, plan on making a [guide|2177|capacitor discharge tool]. |
| + | [* icon_caution] The filter capacitor will hold the most charge out of all of them. Even with a discharge, you should still watch this capacitor as it's known to have charge linger the most. ***If you do not feel comfortable attempting the repair, give the monitor to someone who is or have it done professionally.*** |
