| [title] Identify the power supply | |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***If any of the capacitors have bulged, they probably have a residual charge. Handle the power supply with caution and assume there is a residual charge.*** |
| - | [* black] With the power supply shield removed from the monitor, identify the power supply. Write down the uF and voltage of the original capacitors and buy replacements for all capacitors. ***If you cannot find the original capacitors, you can use capacitors with a higher voltage and uF rating, as long as they fit. It is very likely you will have to.*** |
| - | [* red] This capacitor was phased out on later power supplies and is not always required. If you have this capacitor, it also needs to be replaced. |
| - | [* icon_note] You only likely need to change the following capacitors: 2x 25V 1000uF, 1x 10V 1000uF, 2x 25V 220uF. However, the other capacitors may also be bad and need replacement in some cases. The filter capacitor is usually okay and does not need to be replaced if it is in spec. |
| + | [* icon_caution] ***If any of the capacitors have bulged, assume there is a residual charge remaining. Handle the power supply by the sides and do not touch the capacitor leads, and use extreme caution.*** |
| + | [* black] With the power supply shield removed from the monitor, identify the power supply. Take a note of the original capacitors and bring this list to an electronics store or buy the caps you need online. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] ***If you cannot find the original capacitors or they cost too much and a higher capacity equivalent is available for less, you can substitute the originals for ones with a higher rating, as long as they fit the board.*** |
| + | [* icon_note] The capacitor marked in red is only on older power supply boards. If you have a newer board, it is very unlikely to have this capacitor in place. If you have it, you will need to replace it as well. |
| + | [* icon_note] You only likely need to change the following capacitors: 2x 25V 1000uF, 1x 10V 1000uF, 2x 25V 220uF. If any additional capacitors are bad or you wish to change all of the small caps, take note of the other caps you may wish to replace. Replacement of the filter capacitor should be limited to cases where it has to be changed only, due to the cost. |
