Not for this application. Just provides more overhead room. Your biggest concern is the amperage.
I thought so thanks!

The cap that did not match from the 20" kit was C410. On the 20", it's a 100uf 160volt, but on the 14" model, C410 is a 47uf 160v.
Also, on the 20" model, C472 is a 100uf 160v. That cap doesn't exist on the 14", but on my 14", C462 is a 100uf 160v, so I changed it with that one.
I double checked the capacitance rating on the rest of the caps in the 20" kit, and I believe the rest of the caps matched up with what was already in my original chassis, so that should do it.
So you can get the 20" kit, and substitute one 47uf 160v cap for one of the 100uf 160v caps, and you should be good to go.
Crazy I just found that c301 was installed backwards, I checked the sick screen on both sides. Then I used my continuity tested and found that it was indeed installed backwards.
Not only is C301 in backwards, it is 47uf 50v while bob's kit has it as 10uf 50v
also
C303 is 10uf 160v and bob's kit has it as 10uf 50v!
SOMEONE HELP ME! WTF is going on here!
seems the 50v ones are the standard value according to modessitt's list

OK I am looking at the 14 EZW schematic that Jambuglar posted on megaupload. Good thing I saved the file!
Looks like bob's kit is right according to the schematic:

Just try leaving the 47uf 160 cap in there. If you have an ESR meter, check it to see if it's OK. If it's OK, just run with the original cap.
Worst case scenario is you can always pull the chassis and change the cap later if you develop issues.
If the cap's still good and lasted this long, keep using it. It's lasted this long, it's probably a better built cap than anything you'll swap in there.

Can someone weigh in on this, I am replacing the caps according to Bob's kit which so far matches the schematic (14" EZW). What is the possibility of this damaging the monitor? I will list the different values when I am done.
guess you have something against modessitt's list. i weighed in guess i was a featherweight.
No, the EZW isn't on that list. Jam Burglar posted the actual schematic for the EZW 14". I figured it was a safe bet.
nice, good weekend right there.
You got that right! I spent a very long time working on this monitor checking everything over and over.
It paid off!
