Never picked up a soldering iron before until a few days ago...I purchased a Weller station and a few practice soldering kits from Amazon...was fun to do
This was all practice for replacing 5 capacitors on my wife's Samsung 204b monitor. I found a good utube video and ordered the capacitors.
I went to work on the board and had a heck of a time desoldering the bad capacitors...3/5 were leaking...seems like I had to turn up the heat on the iron to get it to melt the solder on the board and with the wick made a bit of a mess...anyway I was able to replace all of the capacitors and got everything back together...turned it on and everything looked good!!
Until the next day when my wife was complaining the screen was flickering....hmmmm....it got worse over the next few days. She did not have that problem before I replaced the capacitors...the monitor needed many toggles on the on/off button for it to come on but no flicker once it did power up.
So I took it apart and visually looked at the capacitors and they look fine...so not sure where to go from here?
I see on ebay there are used "tested" boards for this unit so will probably just buy one of those...but I am a bit disappointed that my first repair did not work
Thanks for any input...
