This is a photo of the monitor PCB, or Printed Circuit Board. This is the element of the monitor that was 'blown'. Before doing any other repair work, I bought a capacitor kit from Bob Roberts for about $12. The capacitors on PCBs contain a ceramic type substance that electricity flows through. As time goes on, this substance can become increasingly dry and crack, which inhibits the free flow of electricity. Capacitor kits include a schematic of the PCB along with several fresh new capacitors. All of the green, blue and black cylinder shaped objects are the capacitors that I replaced on this board. Cap kits increase picture quality and clarity, but I was hoping that the cap kit might fix the monitor, which refused to power up. But the monitor still wouldn't power up after all that work! I knew that the search for the blown component would not be easy! |
