I'm using a 2235 that originally had issues with the built-in audio amp,ever since it was new. Eventually it failed to power on completely. I removed the little amp board,jack,speakers,and all,and it's been working ever since. One issue I noticed was a slight discoloration in the upper corners,when it was running for a while. It was caused by heat buildup effecting the LCD panel,so I drilled some holes in the rear panel,in the upper corners,and that's no longer an issue.
I had the same monitor die with the same symptoms yesterday. This video inspired me to tear it open and take a look at what had happened inside. Sure enough, there were two bulged caps on the power board, with one seemingly spewing something. Managed to scavenge two caps with the same values from a dead router and a PSU, and after the replacement the monitor came alive! Kind of strange how the caps wore out because that monitor was not even plugged to power much of the decade.
Those Panasonics were leftover from the 1060 marantz recap. :) I can't wait to recap mine. I found the original power amp for it in a friends garage. Yay! Good fix maxxx!
I've got one of these monitors, in fact I'm using it right now on my main machine. I got mine for free, and it had the exact same problem as that one… Wouldn't turn on, and the cause was bad caps. I replaced the bulging ones (there were 3 as well), and haven't had a single problem since.
Nice, I wish I could mail you (cheap) an 4 year old LG monitor that died on me last year. I've been wanting to tear it open and see if the caps are bad, but haven't had any time.
You should replace all the caps that are the same brand as the ones that were bad, I have fixed a few of these and if you just replace the swollen ones, the remainder WILL go bad at some time.
Hey Max, I just got MIXXX, like you have, its the free version. How can I import my AMAZON music to it, like I can with itunes, and how can I let it plays songs without having me cue it up then it play. LIKE how can I make it play like a radio station. Been a subscriber for a few years. Your videos are fantastic. Thanks Gio.
Funny, i think i have the 19" version of that viewsonic somewhere in my basement with the same exact 3 dead caps. Didn't bother fixing it since i have so many LCDs laying around atm that this is the least of my concerns xD ... About that EQ: it does have way more clarity in the highs with the EQ on even through the camera and youtube. Great song btw. as usual. Also, i just love to see this system in seperate racks since all you'd need to do if a random party would come up is get two Friends to carry it upstairs. Just imagine how much it would take to move a all metal rack with 6 k2s in it just about anywhere xD ...
I am using 2 of these monitors right now, i got them for free with bad caps, but that was no issue to me at all, I got 5 of these from someone that worked for an insurance company as an IT guy, These monitors are great! I still have one i need to replace some more caps, then it will be monitor #3!.
I was working for a company that would throw their flat panel monitors out when they stopped working. I took a few of them apart and replaced those very caps and ended up repairing 19 of 20 monitors. A few months later they laid me off. Their loss.
Hey maxx i have some money on my hands and tought of buying a computer i dont know what graphic cards i can choose between a nvidia gtx 960 or a amd r9 290 tri x wich one do i choose?!

Maxxarcade I'm still using a CRT monitor, a 21" viewsonic from 2003. It's been a great monitor for many years but lately its starting to show "glow" around some white icons like text files in the left side when I fire it up. I'm using a black background desktop. I think some games are showing it too. What does that mean? Thanks
I have picked a monitor just like that one but there was no repairing it. do a update video on the music system. I use to DJ in high school and I'd like to get back into it!!!
Hey Aaron I have this old samsung 171v monitor. it works fine but it has a problem. the display looks as if theres water in it or something. alot of the screen is darker and there are some patches of brighter and whiter screen.
thanks for the video! Replaced my capacitors and all works again. here's a list of all of them. Easy to do! 10V 1000 1length [10mm] 10V 2200 1 (12mm) 25V 220 3 (8mm) 25V 330 1 (10mm) 25V 1000 2 (10mm) 50v 22 1 (5mm) total............. 9 capacitors if all bad.....kit available on ebay or buy individually at electronic supply stores
Hey I need help on a Dell Dimension 5100, I took out the 2 old memory stick and add 4 new sticks to it. So after turning the computer on, all its showin is ......windows is loading files......for hours so is that normal
I'm using a pair of Bose AE2W headphones to listen to this sound in this video, and I'm hearing a great deal of bass, which is interesting. I guess your music system can rock the walls.
Ahh the evil capacitors strike again wa wa wa :-D I use panasonic caps, they seem decent and i can get them from my local r.s semiconductors outlet :-)
this vid reminded me of the viewsonic monitor i did a screen swap on back at the end of december the original LCD had water damage and had a stuck green line down in a section of the left side of the LCD its now a perfectly working monitor
Really nice drivers! Last weekend we had 12 very interesting 15"+18" biamped cardioid subwoofers on our stage + 3 dual 21" subwoofers in end fire cardioid setup for the very low end by twaudio. Ever thought about using biamped cardioid subwoofer setups?

***** Seems like a classic case of a bad batch of caps. I see it so often that I hardly think twice about it anymore.
***** lol i was just about to skype msg you and say maxxarcade just got the same monitor as you and it had the same problem xD
***** EEVBlog has a video - 'Bad cap monitor repair' features two 24" Samsung monitors.
Which application was that you were playing the music from? Is it an Ubuntu repo?
kibi15 mixx

"This isn't a sound system video."
You tease. ;)
Always good when something is a simple repair!

whats the pinout for the 2973006403 audio board?
wow, you got a deal. Maxx, are you still liking linux mint?
I wish I had enough skill to do this kind of thing.
You can do it man!
What's the name of the song you played?
Hey I need help on a Dell Dimension 5100, I took out the 2 old memory stick and add 4 new sticks to it. So after turning the computer on, all its showin is ......windows is loading files......for hours so is that normal
That's strange, it seems like it tripped Windows 7's "automatic repair" somehow. It was Windows 7 right?
I love it when monitors are an easy fix like this like that Samsung I fixed once.
Subscribed to ya!
Hey Maxxarcade where have you been at buddy?
nice sound system. super clean job!
identical to my one!!!!!
Is there a video explaining the gear that you have in the two racks and the music computer?
nedkelly384 There are a few, but I think this is the most recent.
ruclips.net/video/3jAPOCu9FNw/видео.html
nice monitor for the price of three caps
you lucky bas,.. -_-
good find and easy fix
Where did you go D:
I'm using a pair of Bose AE2W headphones to listen to this sound in this video, and I'm hearing a great deal of bass, which is interesting. I guess your music system can rock the walls.
Post some new content! :)
Ahh the evil capacitors strike again wa wa wa :-D
I use panasonic caps, they seem decent and i can get them from my local r.s semiconductors outlet :-)
what program are you using in linux mint?
rrcoster its called Mixx it like virtualDJ but free
Where did he go?
Any idea what may have caused those caps to go?
John Simms Just defective caps. VERY common problem with many monitors, motherboards, and power supplies over the past few years.
all components exactly like mine too, my one took out the backlight!!
this vid reminded me of the viewsonic monitor i did a screen swap on back at the end of december the original LCD had water damage and had a stuck green line down in a section of the left side of the LCD its now a perfectly working monitor
Damn this mist be one common monitor lol, everybody's commenting about it hahaah 😊
Always have enjoyed the way viewsonic does their layouts for monitors, very clean vs a lot of the others that I have worked on.
You are so smart !!!
Great fix.
Uuuuh.. what were in these RCF boxes? :)
anonym musiteufel That's my extra pair of sub drivers. Eventually I hope to get a pair of cabinets for them, and my speaker setup will be finished.
Maxxarcade 15" or 18"? A dual 15" bandpass design would be really nice. Maybe a project for the next Video? ;)
anonym musiteufel 18", model L18P200-N. All of my subs use them.
Really nice drivers! Last weekend we had 12 very interesting 15"+18" biamped cardioid subwoofers on our stage + 3 dual 21" subwoofers in end fire cardioid setup for the very low end by twaudio. Ever thought about using biamped cardioid subwoofer setups?
