Yep. Thanks for your help.
I hope to find the replacement capacitors within a year or so. I'm super poor and won't be simply buying capacitors on line. I hope to fix this monitor for zero dollars. But rather, fix it with just my time searching for discarded electronics to scrap for the capacitors.
My recent glance at the tracks shows the resistor is indeed in series with the zener diode. But that common point does not go anywhere else. It's just a private node of intimacy between ZD and R.
Thanks for the tip.
So I tested that diode in circuit.
When I first make contact with both ends, the multimeter goes to zero ohms. But after a few seconds it shows a resistance. In one direction, it settles around 1k. In the other direction, it settles around 10k.
Does indicate that the diode...
Yes. At a minimum my plan has always been to replace those capacitors. I'm on the lookout for scrap electronics that might have replacements in them. (No more RadioShack - where can someone buy a few measly capacitors without having to pay 4 times the price in terms of shipping? Agh!)
So you...
Ya. Mine is burnt out. I need to identify it so I can replace it.
If you have a schematic for this monitor, could you glance at it to tell me the industry standard or manafacturer's part number for this diode? I mean, some ID that will help me obtain a replacement?
