So I'm sitting in front of my monitor and I hear water vaporizing. I look around and see steam coming out of my monitor from the back, towards the right. My power supply gave out a little after a year of use with this monitor. This monitor has no light bleed, good angles, rich colors, deep contrast, and good gaming effects with no ghosting. I wasn't about to give up on this monitor that easily.
I suspected the problem was the power supply, so I looked up a power supply and took a chance ordering one from ebay. I replaced my old supply with the new one and haven't had a problem since. But I'm not stopping there. I'm replacing my new board's capacitors with a different brand of capacitors.
When I inspected my old board, I saw that two, 2 inch long capacitors on the board were puffed at the end. A puffed capacitor means its no longer a working capacitor. I went back to ebay and searched for some Aluminum Electrolytic(LM)capacitors for replacing the ones my new board came with. The new board came with the same branded capacitors the old board used. I ordered Rubycon (LM)capacitors as they hold a good reputation. Once they get here, I'll remove my new board and replace the capacitors with the Rubycons. And while I'm at it, I'll also replace the old board's capacitors with the new Rubycons.
The new capacitor rating is 450V 68uf by Rubycon.
