my last new monitors were a pair of acer 22" widescreen LCDs.
That was 3 years ago and since both have died.
the first one went out and I bought a 32" vizio HD 1080P television set and have been using that as my 2nd monitor in a dual screen setup with the original 22" LCD monitor.
Earlier this week that 22" acer also died (won't power on)
Now I am looking at a 40" LCD 1080P TV set to replace it. Then will be running dual screen on 40" and 32" TV sets
quote: When replacing caps should all caps, bad or good, be replaced?
my advice after some years with G-LUXON and other low quality capacitors from PcShips motherboards. Some batches were simply BAD and ready to die after a year or two. For the story: on 2 systems I replaced the faulty caps by "same brand but another batch" taken from other older boards. One system still works
if you have a "batch" of SAME caps and some are dieing, better replace this batch. This applies only to the SAME brand, capacity, voltage capacitors on a single board.
Among different brands I worked with the best I got are Rubycon, but they are EXPENSIVE! I got more from damaged boards than I bought, I am in "recycling & DIY area" Greetings from west Africa
