    • These steps are as generic as possible, since most LCD displays use a similar design. However, you will need to think carefully about how to take the display apart so you can put it back together, and have it still work!

    • The images are from Repair ViewSonic VX924 LCD Monitor Blinking Green power Button (youtube). You should watch it through once to get an idea for what it's like.

    • First, remove the plastic back of the monitor. The stand/pedestal may be attached by screws, or the back and the stand may all be one unit.

    • Keep the screws you removed with the plastic back. That way they won't get mixed up with the screws you take out of the internal parts.

    • There is also probably some sort of snap-on device molded into the plastic back.

    • In the video, a piece of steel is used. A screwdriver or a piece of strong, flat plastic can also do the job.

    • Snapping the back off should take some strength; however, too much force will permanently damage the plastic.

    • Start with very little force and poke the edges of the back. If one corner moves easily but another corner seems solid, then you may have missed a screw. Gradually increase the force you are using until the snaps come off.

    • After removing the back, you need to unscrew the power unit.

    • Some displays use an external "brick" and have a 12V DC power plug.

    • Most displays, especially larger ones, have an AC plug (wall outlet). This guide shows a display with an AC plug.

    • Locate the power unit and remove any screws to access it.

    • You may also need to remove protecting tape. This tape blocks RF noise ("static") from distorting the display. It is ok to cut the tape carefully, or you may be able to unpeel it.

    • Unplug all the cables that come from the power unit and supply power to the other parts of the display.

    • Be sure you memorize how they go back together!

    • It's usually a good idea to pull out your digital camera and shoot pictures of the boards before you take them apart. This will help you put them together the same way.

    • Identifying bad capacitors is fairly simple. Start with a search for images of bad capacitors to see what they look like.

    • If one capacitor has failed, there is a good chance the ones around it will fail, or may have partially failed. They were manufactured around the same time. Also, when a component fails, the rest of the circuit can be damaged by the electrical stress.

    • Doing them all at the same time is fairly easy.

    • New capacitors cost a few cents.

    • Each capacitor is coded on the side with:

    • Manufacturer and/or Product (Green box in the image)

    • Red box: Capacity (micro Farads); Blue box: Voltage (V); Yellow circle: Temperature Rating (C)

    • Notice also how the capacitor on the right has obviously "blown out".

  4. Repairing an LCD Display with failed capacitors: adım 4, 1 resimden 1.
    • You can get replacement capacitors from Mouser, Digi-key, or Arrow, or a local electronics parts store.

    • Be sure to match all the requirements:

    • Capacity (micro Farads)

    • Voltage (V)

    • Temperature Rating (C)

    • Capacitor Diameter (mm)

    • Obviously, the manufacturer is not something you need to match.

    • You can go over on capacitor ratings to some extent so the monitor has more of a safety level when in use and less likey to blow to voltage. *this can be bad if the capacitor is failing due to over voltage, sometimes the cap is like a surge protector because it fails open.

    Most important to match is the capacity, more or less is usually bad - if you are really stuck for parts, find something within 10% of the original value. Voltage can be the same or higher, but never lower - lower will blow the new capacitor. As far as diameter is concerned, most replacement capacitors you buy are of better quality than the components used on the assembly lines, so the diameter can be slightly larger than the OEM you are going to remove; you should check, however, that the pins slide in easily without bending.

    • Match the capacitor diameter in mm.

    • Use a screwdriver or piece of metal to short across the legs of the old capacitors, while they are still in the board. This will "short out" any remaining power left in them so they don't spark or shock you while you do the repair.

    • Using a soldering iron, remove the old capacitors. Then solder in the new ones.

    • Replace the board and screw it into place.

    • Replace all the cables that you removed.

    • If you feel brave, you may want to test the display before putting the plastic back on.

    Word of caution about shorting capacitors: they can store very large voltages and you could possibly do harm to yourself or other electronic components on the board. Before shorting anything, test with a voltage tester to see if there is charge. Better idea is to disconnect from power for 24hrs before beginning the process. IMO, anything above 10V and you are asking for trouble if you short it out.

    When soldering in new capacitors, make sure the polarity (+ or -) is correct. Very important.

    The TV internal ac connection broke off. Now I can't connect the power cord to the TV. Any simple solutions to try???

    hendur2 - Yanıt

    the solution can be: weld out the chassispart. Than install the wires direct to the print.

Samsung : sold not easylly melting. What to do?

Orlando Costa - Yanıt

A year later, but buy flux. Will help things. Also let the soldering iron (and solder) heat up properly and be patient

Bruno Otazu -

Completely agree with Bruno. Flux and nice hot soldering iron.

Else cut the capacitor leads and solder the new ones to the old leads - avoids possible damage to the printed circuit boards

Ray Lewis - Yanıt

how to make capacitors like live longer..? take capacirots with little voltage more or capacitance or amperage? like if i see manufacturer put say 15v 1000 mf ... can i mke it works longer if take 25v 1000mf or 2000 mf 15v etc?

temperature say was 105 C ...just need a tip to understand how to play with these data?
