WG6100 Fix History - Caps Popping, No HV - Fixed!
OK.. I'm working on a Star Wars. Got the board up and running. Now for the monitor. This monitor originally had a fried resistor R903 (3.9Ohm). I replaced it with the proper value. Picture started to come up and then POP! C901 100uf 50v cap pops. Installed another one and then a minute later, bang! Explodes again....... Basically the top of the cap opens and pops. Anyone know the fix for this? Driving me nuts! I know the cap is in the right way. All other caps were replaced correctly as well. Any ideas?
Thanks
