Capacitor replacement on Acer AL1912

In retrospection, I want I had actually tape-recorded video clip of the display when it had not been functioning, however when transforming it on, it would certainly reveal the Acer logo design, while the power switch was environment-friendly, after that the power switch would certainly transform yellow, as well as the display would certainly go empty adhered to by the “no signal” message.

UPGRADE 1/31/2015: That display is still going solid, although I’ve transformed just how much I utilize it from daily a minimum of 5 hrs, to when a week for no greater than 3 hrs.

Viewed some soldering video clips to obtain a concept of exactly how to remove/install digital parts, as well as thankfully, also my favored technology program, Tekzilla, had a section just recently on just how to solder things.

Changed 4 470mf 25v 105 ° and also 2 1000mf 10v 105 ° on my 19″ Acer AL1912. New capacitors were $7.30 completely, totally free delivery from ebay.com.

I located an online forum stating that the part that spoils on LCD keeps track of a lot of the moment are the capacitors. If it really did not function, I figured I might manage to throw away $7.30 and also 30 mins of my time. I currently had the welding torch as well as the solder.
