    • If you see bulged capacitors, treat the power supply as if the capacitors are holding a residual charge.

    • If the filter capacitor is replaced, it MUST be discharged before removal. In addition, the black screw (Blue marker) is a grounding screw and cannot be lost.

    • Only lift the power supply board at a slight angle. Lifting it any higher may damage the processing board or interface.

    • If you cannot find the original capacitors, the original parts can be safely substituted.

    • This capacitor is only used on older revisions. If your board has this capacitor, it should be replaced if handy.

    • With the power supply shield removed from the monitor, identify the power supply. Along with the listed capacitors, take note of any others you want to replace (Ex: Inverter coil).

    • Remove the 4 screws from the power supply. Once this is done, lift up the power supply at a slight angle to clear the chassis mounting holes.

  13. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, (Optional) Capacitor polarity marking: Schritt 13, Bild 1 von 1
    • If the PCB is marked to avoid mis-installation, these marks will come off when soldered in place.

    • If you are unsure of the position of the capacitors, mark the polarity with a permanent marker. If the capacitors are installed incorrectly, they will explode when power is applied.

  14. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Add flux to the capacitor leads: Schritt 14, Bild 1 von 1
    • If you do not have flux on hand, solder can be used. The flux will be more difficult to clean if too much is used.

    • To prepare the board for capacitor replacement, add flux or solder to ease removal.

  15.

    • If you do not have Helping Hands, be careful not to touch your soldering iron. The board can be held at an angle if this is easier.

    • While it may be possible to do a partial replacement, the remaining capacitors will fail. Do it once and change the entire set. Refer to this guide for soldering tips: Wie man Lötverbindungen herstellt und entlötet.

    • Move in a workspace with ventilation or use a fume extractor. Once in an appropriate workspace, desolder the old capacitors. Heat up the leg to remove it from the board.

    • After removing the capacitors, clean up the old solder with a desoldering braid Lift it with the iron when removing it.

  16. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Installing brand new capacitors: Schritt 16, Bild 1 von 1
    • Check the capacitor polarity before soldering the new capacitors in. If they are installed incorrectly, they will explode!

    • Install the new capacitors. Check the polarity/placement and bend the leads so they do not come loose during installation.

  17. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Solder the new capacitors in: Schritt 17, Bild 1 von 3 Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Solder the new capacitors in: Schritt 17, Bild 2 von 3 Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Solder the new capacitors in: Schritt 17, Bild 3 von 3
    • Once the polarity is verified, solder the capacitors in. After installation, cut off any excess lead.

  18. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Clean the flux off of the board: Schritt 18, Bild 1 von 1
    • After verifying there are no cold solder joints, clean the board. This can be cleaned with 91%+ Isopropyl or Denatured alcohol.

  19. Acer AL2216W Power Supply Capacitor Replacement, Test the monitor: Schritt 19, Bild 1 von 1

I did not replace the large capacitor on the Acer monitor yet. All other caps have been replaced. I may have to replace the FSPO55- ZP102A as it has a hot spot beside it. I don't know if the part number is right? Do know where I can buy it. Tom B

These older CCFL panels usually burn on the PCB by the inverter coil and main transformer (the Delta branded part, in this case). The LED monitors limit the failure points to the transformer.

It sounds like your PCB got burned from the heat by the transformer or the inverter coil. This is very common and the boards are designed to take it. However, if you are concerned you should buy a new power supply board altogether if that makes you more comfortable.

In step 12, replacing the capacitors with ones with a different capacitance rating instead of using a capacitor rated for higher voltage makes no sense to me electrically. The capacitance rating is the important part, if you use a capacator rated for say 35 volts when the original is rated for 10 makes no difference whatsoever. the rating just means MAX voltage.
