    The original is 2J223 2,200pF 630V film, it's part of the tuning for the self-resonant converter. A smaller cap could up the frequency too much.
    I would also test the other green film caps on the pc board, one is big.

        2200pf/630V cap is for limiting current, it's pretty much weird because reminds me of some cheapo Driverless LED Lamp.

        you can't change it to lower value because the cap would be hot enough because the current drawn too large for the value and the lamp may not turn on.. and the voltage rating should be same or more. Most green film cap only rated 100V, you must double check the rated voltage. Use polypropylene cap.

            For reference, I have a very cheap desk ccfl lamp that I got for 4.7 euros including the lamp itself!

            After a couple years suddenly stopped working.

            Turned it the switch died! Easy fix as it is identical with ATX psu switch and I have so many junk psus lying around.

                desk lamp stopped working... stars?
                by eccerr0r
                How many bcn readers does it take to screw in a light bulb into my LED desk lamp?

                Answer: None. This is a nonreplacable-LED desklamp.

                So this lamp has one of those aluminum stars and an LED on it. It appears to be some sort of BGA or something with pins underneath. Anyway the PSU is 500mA 3.6V-8V meaning this probably was either meant to massively overdrive 1W LEDs or slightly over drive 3W LEDs...

                So it seems that typical 1W LEDs on stars are indeed 3.6V @ 300mA to get 1W which would be overdriven at 500mA, and 3W LEDs appear to be 3.6V@700mA which is a...

                What kind of desk lamp / magnifier do you use ?
                by aneng
                Hi.

                I need to get a bright desk lamp for working on PCBs and I'm wondering what is considered the best type to get for this kind of work ?

                I see there are a lot of magnifier type lamps with ring lighting, but the magnification is usually only 5x, which I don't think is going to be enough for SMD work, though it might be OK for larger components / general use.

                There are also the long LED strip kind.... which seem like they might be good.

                I think that either way, I want to go with a swing-arm type ('anglepoise' type) rather than a gooseneck...

                Epson 5040UB Projector No Lamp Strike Stuck in Startup - Blinking Status/Lamp Lights
                by vestaviascott
                Hoping someone here can put me on the right track. I'm trying to troubleshoot/flowchart the "internal projector error" on my newly acquired Facebook Marketplace bought Epson 5040UB projector (3LED, not DLP). Owner said it needed new lamp, actually error code blink pattern indicates "Internal Projector Error, call Epson support". Unit is out of warranty as of 8/19

                Here's what happens:

                1) Power on
                2) Blue power indicator lights and the lens cover motor opens the lens cover, light fan noise heard
                3) Blue status light flashes for appx 4 minutes...

                BenQ TH681 Originally overheating now wont fire the lamp - Colour wheel not starting
                by AJ847.63e
                Hi All.

                Does anyone have any reference materials or something I can use to try troubleshooting a BenQ TH681? Google unfortunately has turned up zip. I did find a service manual for a W series BenQ but that is pretty much useless, it's more a glorified user manual. A list of voltages would be great as I suspect my mainboard is faulty, the colour wheel voltage is not dipping like it should.

                The one I am troubleshooting now was originally overheating after a lamp replacement. It originally would take 2 minutes or so for it to shut off and blink the temp and lamp lights...

                Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
                by mikey5791
                Hi,

                This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

                Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...
