Title: My New Monitor (2010)

My mother bought a NEW MONITOR! And it's better than ever! (So much so, I put my favorite Pocoyo picture as my main XP wallpaper) 😁

That new monitor is the LG FLATRON 775FT 🇰🇷🖥️, It's a large flat screen "CRT" Monitor and it cost ₱1,300. Now that's a I called "cheap". 🙂🏷️⬇️

As for the old monitor (the Compaq 7500 🇺🇸🖥️), my mom decided not to throw away, along side with old PC peripherals. That was until in the later 2010s, all of our PC stuff was exchanged with funds. 🖥️⌨️🖱️➡️💵

As for the LG 775FT? What happened? It went the same fate by the time we're entered slimmer techs.

My monitor broke and then I fixed it :-]

So I had a LG Flatron W2261vp of about 4 years old and one day it just stopped working. Light briefly came on, then cut out again.

Fortunately due to the wonders of the internet, I found some guides relating similar models and how to open them up & fix them. (Such as this one: https://imgur.com/a/sy05j)

After some fiddling around, I found the culprits:

That’s not how capacitors are suppose to look like. Incidentally, if your monitor goes wrong, chances are it’s the capacitors.

So I went off and got some replacements. In my enthusiasm I got the wrong ones first >_o I also removed the broken capacitors with just a soldering iron. Turns out there is actually little you can really fuck up with a soldering iron.

Soldered in, still need to cut off the tips, but that’s it.

And tadaaaa:

Now I have a monitor I don’t know quite what I’ll use it for (as I got a replacement just the day before). Still, fixing things is waaaaayyy easier. Do make sure you take pictures while fixing things, it makes it easier to reassemble the thing later.
