Syncmaster delayed starts

Symptoms

A common problem seems to me now I was haunted too. On my Samsung SyncMaster 2493 HM delayed the start lately more dramatic. Today morning, I waited 14 minutes, until the screen finally built up a picture. At first I thought that to get a signal. Maybe an update of the graphics card's fault? But why is the screen starts then the longer the later? Strange.

Search problem

But after a short search on the Internet and many users of the Forum for computer base , which describe the same issue of the case was clear. There must be a defective capacitor act. So go ahead, screw on the screen depend on, and control. On the way to the culprit, I had to take a few hurdles. As always with such devices, there are Plastikhäklein that complicate an opening when you have time outside the four screws. Because, as attached, you do not see often. And yes it would destroy his beautiful piece either.

Suspicion is confirmed (Schrauberei can begin)

It was not until I screwed off the foot of the screen yet, is because it has a considerable weight and interfere with the work. Carefully then I clicked on the edge then dissolved with a small screwdriver into the compound and then gradually edge. Now they had to pull quite a few plug (hold good for photographs, for reassembly) to solve film and tape. Then came the turn of the intermediate principal piece. This board is screwed on it the other way around so you can not even see if a capacitor is faulty. So, there the four bolts off, the little sticky grid line and off the board (after all plugs are gone) Carefully remove. And lo and behold, actually stands out of the defective capacitor. Clearly visible through the abdomen and spilled media vaults. And what next?

Elko replace

First look at the electronics stores to call where it is exactly this type. It was on my a 10 volt capacitor with 2200 ㎌. Promptly had a TV commercial that offered to supply power and business savvy partner to me, it is also equal to solder. This is what I wanted at first myself, just can not go wrong a lot: Lötsstelle cold, wrong polarity when connecting, which can explode the capacitor to a hot soldering iron etc. 0815.

In the business meant that, at the Samsung is a known issue. He would use me, just a 25 V capacitor, so it will last longer. Within 5 minutes it was soldered to this and I could take that piece for a few francs to go home and install.

After I had everything back together and connected, I started the PC and waited anxiously for the result. And lo and behold, from the moment the picture was ready, and beamed at me. Of course, I beamed back!
