John, Funny you say that. We have dozens of those monitors where I work and we pick one day a month and for about 2 hours we set up a assembly line. One person desolders the bad caps, another person solders on new ones, then we have one monitor we use as a test rig. We can crank them out at this point. Though we long ago figured which 5 caps are the likely culprits and we just replace them all, even if the cap looks good. Tim. On Jan 5, 2012, at 11:00 AM, "John Stoffel" <john@stoffel.org> wrote:
Liz,
Another thing to look for when you open the LCD is whether you have bad caps (capacitors) on there. I've fixed over a dozen Samsung 204B monitors by just replacing a bunch of caps. Look for bulged ends and then replace with the same or higher spec caps and you might be all set.
Good luck! John
