Re: Viewsonic VX2835WM


That's interesting… They looked fine to me. Any way for you to indicate what tipped you off? I'd like to be able to identify bad caps better in the future if I can. Also would you include everything under the heat sync that's soldered to the board? Specifically the 420v 150hf cap?

Also: Do you think this is because of shitty caps, or bad PCB design? I have no idea what to expect out of this hardware after I (hopefully) get it working again....

This display took a while to fail. Would have to press power button multiple times to get it to turn on. It finally stopped working all together. Seemed like a power supply failing, so in searching for a replacement power supply, and some troubleshooting information I found the world of bad capacitors which eventually led me here.

I tested the power button, and it functions properly. All my caps look good, which as I understand doesn't really mean much so I thought I'd post pics of the boards, and get your opinions on what additional testing/troubleshooting I should attempt before...

Hey,

I'm working on a "No Power" ViewSonic vx2835wm that slowly died. First time inside display. Fun! Already read a ton of threads. You folks are amazing!
