If your AL2216W is having problems, it is likely due to bad capacitors. Here are some common symptoms of bad capacitors:
Note: While some issues may be corrected with a partial repair, this is NOT RECOMMENDED. One bad capacitor usually means the rest will fail!
- Power issues (Present issue)
- Excessive transformer/inverter hum (Present)
- Backlight problems
- Auto adjust problems (VGA) (Present)
- Random power issues are only resolved through a full power cycle (unplugging the monitor)
- Video issues (Ex: Unstable image, video instability)
Original capacitor values (For Delta 00A power supply)
NOTE: I based the capacitor list on my monitor's specific power supply (Delta 00A). UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SAME PART IN YOUR MONITOR, YOU MUST VERIFY WHAT YOURS NEEDS TO AVOID COMPATIBILITY ISSUES BY TAKING THE MONITOR APART TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAPACITORS ARE USED. However, in many cases, the stock part is likely NLA or hard to find a matching replacement, especially as these monitors age. As such, you will likely need to use different capacitors that either have a higher voltage or uF rating and swap all of the original capacitors that remain that match the old part, even if they work, as doing this will likely cause the remaining original capacitors to fail sooner.
IMPORTANT: When swapping capacitors, stay as close to the original as possible. It’s okay to install a 35V 1000μF part instead of a 25V 1000μF part (or a 25V 2000μF replacement), but grossly exceeding the value of the stock part does not offer any benefits.
Part availability caution: While I have done my best throughout this guide's life (and still do what I can) to keep up with part phaseouts (and replacing hard "obsolete in practice" value components) by mitigating the issue as needed with components of a similar voltage or uF rating, I cannot continuously monitor the market. You may need to make additional substitutions!
- 25V 1000uF (x2)
- 10V 1000uF (x1)
- 25V 220uF (x2)
- 16V 2200uF (x1, Only found on early power supplies, and is used to drive the inverter transformer. This was not used in later power supply revisions as it was removed at some point.

Open the monitor at the bottom of the monitor by releasing the four tabs with a flathead screwdriver or a Jimmy and plastic pry tool. If force is needed, the best way to do this is to put electrical tape on a flathead screwdriver and split the panels.
-
-
-
With the monitor unclipped on the bottom, pull the sides of the monitor up. Do this slowly to avoid cracking the LCD.
-
-
-
With the back of the monitor off, remove the 2 screws on the IEC power connector using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
-
-
-
-
Remove the 4 screw pins for the video cables from the monitor. Use a 5mm Nut bit/driver to remove the screw pins from the power supply shield.

-
Disconnect the CCFL cables from the power supply board.

-
Disconnect the flat flex cable that goes to the control board.

Remove the 2 lower screws that hold the power supply shield to the monitor with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
-
-
-
On the right side of the monitor, remove the remaining Phillips #0 screws holding the board shield in place.
-
Lift the lower plate up while removing the power supply shield to remove it from the monitor. Once this is done, you will have access to the power supply.
-
Removing the lower shield (Optional): To remove the lower shield, release the black tabs holding it in place, and lift up. Do this for all the tabs holding it in place.
-
-
-
With the power supply shield removed from the monitor, identify the power supply. Take note of the printed values, including the inverter cap (if present).
-
Remove the 4 Phillips #1 screws from the power supply. Once this is done, lift up the power supply at a slight angle to clear the chassis. Do not lift too much or the connector may be damaged!

This capacitor is only found on older power supplies. Replacement is optional, but recommended.
-
-
-
If you are unsure of the position of the capacitors, mark the polarity with a permanent marker. If the capacitors are incorrectly installed, they will explode when power is applied.
-
-
-
To prepare the board for capacitor replacement, add flux or solder.
-
-
-
Move to a workspace with ventilation or use a fume extractor. Once in an appropriate workspace, desolder the old capacitors. Heat up each leg and remove it.
-
After removing the capacitors, clean up the old solder with a desoldering braid. Lift it with the iron when removing it.
-
-
-
Install the new capacitors. Check the polarity and bend the leads so they do not come loose during installation.
-
-
-
Once the polarity is verified, solder the capacitors in. After installation, cut off any excess lead.
-
-
-
After verifying there are no cold solder joints, clean the board with 91%+ Isopropyl alcohol, or denatured alcohol.

I did not replace the large capacitor on the Acer monitor yet. All other caps have been replaced. I may have to replace the FSPO55- ZP102A as it has a hot spot beside it. I don't know if the part number is right? Do know where I can buy it. Tom B
These older CCFL panels usually burn on the PCB by the inverter coil and main transformer (the Delta branded part, in this case). The LED monitors limit the failure points to the transformer.
It sounds like your PCB got burned from the heat by the transformer or the inverter coil. This is very common and the boards are designed to take it. However, if you are concerned you should buy a new power supply board altogether if that makes you more comfortable.

In step 12, replacing the capacitors with ones with a different capacitance rating instead of using a capacitor rated for higher voltage makes no sense to me electrically. The capacitance rating is the important part, if you use a capacator rated for say 35 volts when the original is rated for 10 makes no difference whatsoever. the rating just means MAX voltage.
