Samsung synchmaster 226BW.
Before I replaced 5 caps, the screen was dim.
Sometimes it wouldn't turn on.
I opened it up, and found 4 bad caps in the pwr supply section.
I unfortunately installee one backwards, i.e. wrong polarity.
When I turned it on, I head a loud pop, and I quickly shut it off.
The replaced caps are 3 860uF 25V's, and 1 330u 35V.
One of the 860uF blew.
I didn't have another 860uF at home, so I tried it with a 1000uF 35V cap (I remember the reading of the 1k uF cap was close to 950uF, so I figured it was close enough to 1 kuF)
Now, it:
1. shows no signal detected (the signal's fine, check w/other monitor)
2. the menu buttom doesn't work.
Does anybody think replacing the 1000uF cap will help?
What else should I be looking at to explain my problems?
Thanks!
