Absolutely! I intend on posting back with my next steps. At this point, I'm still waiting for the parts (currently expected to arrive tomorrow). I'll say I'm not thrilled to have paid >$8 to ship a 0.4lb package which takes 5 business days to arrive. Perhaps I'm spoiled by NewEgg's ship time & prices. Fortunately, my monitors seem to be playing tag-team on functioning correctly, so I can still function at this point.

I just completed soldering all the new caps to one of the boards! For desoldering, I found it easier to simply heat each lead and gently pull the cap out. The braided copper didn't really help, perhaps because the pins are so small. The good news is that the monitor functions fine (I thought I may have messed up one of the caps). The unfortunate news is that only time will tell if the problem is really solved. I will post back with the status after a couple days. If all goes well, I'll repeat the procedure on the other board. Thank you all for your help thus far!
From: Dav.p. on 21 May 2010 07:17 So the "working" monitor stopped working today w/ the same symptoms. ------ what do you mean for 'working', them still had power boards swapped? A monitor can't contaminate anything, it's a stupid thought.. maybe your monitors are produced same day as them has been bopught same day and caps are equal and fails near same month or week.

Before and after I had swapped the power boards, only one of the two monitors worked--and it contained the same power board each time. Yes, both monitors were bought at the same time, and used roughly equally. But one monitor started failing over 18 months ago, while the other just started this month.

Bad news: the monitor w/ the new caps exhibited the same problem when I first powered it on this morning. Ugh... |
