 <\/p>\n

My little workshop has to be flexible and wear many hats.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today was no exception. Today’s task was to convert it to an electronic repair shop to see if I can resurrect an old 22″ Dell monitor they were throwing out at work.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I disassembled the monitor, pulled the power board and found 4 bad capacitors which is typical in Dell hardware.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>– Power board on the bench being diagnosed –<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>– Bad Capacitors (domed tops) –<\/p>\n

So after about 30 minutes of my time and 4 new capacitors (56 cents total), I have a nice large Dell monitor for my home PC. Nice!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– It’s Alive! –<\/p>\n

This was a nice little project that yielded a nice much larger computer monitor for my home PC for next to nothing.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Awesome!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

BTW – Yes that’s a VCR under the monitor. I use it to transfer VHS tapes to digital media, and the pint glass you see has Thirsty Dog’s 12 Dogs of Christmas Ale in it which I highly recommend. \ud83d\ude42<\/h4>\n
