HP monitor repair

[sammy004]

Hi guys was repairing the HP VS19E LCD and I found some great tuts online here (https://www.instructables.com/id/Repairing-a-vs19e/) however they use a 1000uf 10v cap but I only have 1000uf 16v can I get by with those or should I use the ones that are in there?

16V in place of 10V should be fine.

Thank you I just did it works great.

Thank you I just did it works great.

It's probably better - higher voltages tend to have lower ESR.

I hope you replaced it with a 105 degree version?, otherwise it may well fail again - also NEVER use Capxon capacitors, they are really unreliable.

I hope the ripple current rating of your replacement capacitor is adequate for this application.

I replaced them the monitor is working great.

HP has a significant problem with those monitors. I purchased near 200 of them and better than 60 of them all failed due to those capacitors. Fortunately the warranty was still in effect... HP even dispatched a factory technician to service them on site.

Yeah I heard the same thing. actually the one I have was a friends he was going to throw it out because there was no warranty or nothing, so I told him to give it to me and I just replaced those caps and up and running. He will probably want it back now...yeah right

Haha. Tell him that if you give it back, you're keeping the caps.

What Nigel and Willbe were asking are important questions if you don't want to keep having to replace the caps, though. Do you know the temperature and ripple current ratings of the caps you put in there?

Good job fixing the problem, by the way.

Please start your own thread. You'll have a greater chance of getting a useful response.

Also, people are more likely to respond if you try to take a little care with your posts, such as capitalizing, spelling correctly, and putting spaces after your periods.

Hey 2tricky4u, i gues u need to put the fuse back in place. As long as u replaced the old caps with new caps with apropriate values, u have no problem.
