Caps are so cheap anyway the difference to samsung is probably 1p a cap or something silly makes you wonder why they would put bad caps in.
Wonder if samsung are still putting these time bombs in their new stuff it would put me off buying any of their future monitors if they do.
Ordering mine now not using RSSW the delivery charge is a joke £11 for the caps and £9 total delivery and farnell don't have any panasonic stock so may aswell try another brand.
Mine is three years old to the month with no issues what so ever

so whats the difference between plain 450v and 450v DC on the Rubycon is that the wrong one btw as it says the crapxon is 42mm height ?
which is the right one to get ?
Mine started misbehaving about a week after the three year warranty expired.
Sorry to be a pain but what is lead spacing doesn't mention any of that info
It's possible that the caps are causing other components to whine if they have gone bad... Caps don't usually whine themselves.My 32" Samsung TV has been whistling whilst on standby for a while now. Unfortunately it's well out of warranty so I'd written off being able to do anything about it without spending loads of dosh to get it repaired. I'm now wondering if bad caps are an issue and if I can deal with them.
You mean static from a person to the monitor? Well in fact any capacitors on the PCB will soak up any normal amounts of static discharge so you don't have to worry about that.Quick question though. Is there a big issue with static discharge when taking the back off large LCD monitors?
Are the PCB's still ok? If so you may be able to put them on e-bay as spares/repairs?
Its the power supply caps that are buggered on my screens, I doubt anyone will want them now as they have been outside in the rain and snow since xmas
Oh I see, I was going to say if you lived close to me then I'd be tempted to have a crack at fixing them myself, but if they've been out in the rain I'll forget about it, lol.
It's a bit late now but you may have been able to get a replacement under the SOGA, you've got nothing to lose by doing this...
Lead spacing it the space between the 2 leads coming out the bottom of the capacitor.
They need to be the same distance apart as the holes in the PCB...
You'll probably be ok, but these size capacitors aren't hugely expensive, so you can always order some more if they're not the right ones... It can be annoying waiting for delivery though...Damnit wish I'd known that before ordering ah well got them off that auction site in the end same place as another guy that fixed his so should be okay I guess.Just awaiting delivery now.
Yep I can see some caps there that need replacement... You could have tried to do it yourself, but I guess soldering isn't for everyone...yeah well I took 1 apart, and this is what I found, I tried for ages to get the caps replaced, but I couldnt get anyone to replace them. Just before xmas my other screen went the same way, as in it kept going off and on.
Take a look at the SOGA, just because something is out of warranty doesn't mean you can't get a replacement...I have the exact same monitor as the OP and mine has the similar problem that started a week after the 3 years buy date. Earlier I owned a Samsung Cell Phone that went dead just a week after the warranty had expired. I'm never going to buy a Samsung product again.
Gana.

Got a Samsung SM245B+ here which I've had since October 2008, wondering how much longer it's going to last... Think if I did resell it now I should get a decent price for it as it's still in decent condition and it's a 1920 x 1200 screen.
