I am working on a LCD computer monitor. It destroyed a polystyrene block shaped capacitor on the low voltage side of the flourescent tube display power board.
The cap (I believe .1mfd) was between the two switching transtiors that power the step-up transformer.
I thought this was a cap to supress "ringing" in the circuit. The original was melted, so I used a 250 volt .1. It bulged, and failed.
No schematic, but this is similar to many others. That is why In used a .1 ufd.
Any thoughts? I realize the transformer might have a bad winding, but I might have the cap value wrong.
Thanx. Gary
