[title] Identify the power supply
-[* icon_caution] ***If any of the capacitors have bulged, they may still have a charge. Handle the power supply with extreme caution!***
-[* black] As you keep that plate lifted up, maneuver the shield covering the power suppy and control boards up. After you have this removed, identify the power supply.
-[* black] After you remove the shield identify all of the capacitors and replace them all. You can go up as much as you want to the points that the new caps will not fit the existing points. ***Make sure you get the right ones or double the uF ratings. If you use a smaller capacitor it will bulge and explode.***
-[* icon_note] Acer used the following capacitors at the time: 2x 25V 1000uF capacitors, 1x 10V 1000uF capacitor, 2x 25V 220uF capacitors if you intend to match the factory specified capacitor ratings. If you double them, make sure you exceed the original uF and voltages and not go under or they will fail when the monitor is turned on.
+[* icon_caution] ***If any of the capacitors have bulged, they probably have a residual charge left. Handle the power supply with extreme caution and assume there is a residual charge left!***
+[* black] With the power supply shield removed from the monitor, identify the power supply. Write down the uF ratings and voltages of the original capacitors. Replace all of the capacitors on the board now. ***If you cannot find the original capacitors, double the uF ratings to the closet you see for sale. DO NOT double the voltage whatsoever.***
+[* icon_note] You should only concern the capacitors of these ratings: 2x 25V 1000uF, 1x 10V 1000uF, 2x 25V 220uF. This only matters if you match the factory specified capacitors on the board when you replace them. If doubled you have to exceed the original capacitors and cannot go under. Going under will end up causing them to fail when you turn the monitor on.
+[* icon_reminder] Regarding the filter capacitor: You can replace the filter capacitor on the AC in side if you want. This capacitor usually does not require replacement and is the most expensive. You will also probably find yourself doubling the original capacitors since the Acer rated ones are hard to find. Your mileage on matching the originals will vary.
[* icon_note] Regarding the filter capacitor: You can replace the filter capacitor on the AC in side if you want. However, this capacitor does not require replacement in most cases. This capacitor will set you back the most should you replace it.
[* icon_note] You will probably have to double up the uF rating on the new capacitors, seeing as the Acer rated ones are very hard to find. ***If you decide to double them you can not go under on uF or voltage, or the capacitor will explode.***
