Replacing a resistor on a monitor

Hey there

I'm running into a bit of a situation with my monitor. I've got these three capacitors that are rated at 25V/1000uF, and I was wondering... would it actually work if I swapped them out for some 35V/1000uF ones? Is there any real risk of blowing something out, or will it just fail to boot up entirely?...

Those aren't resistors, they're capacitors. You probably should stick to 35V, though I guess you'd have to check if it can actually handle the physical load.

I thought I’d be smart about it too, so I swapped them out, thinking it’d just fire up on the first try and leave the rest alone... but no luck. When I plugged the monitor into the wall, the power button light just kept blinking at me before the whole thing finally kicked on. Looks like the 😢
part is definitely the culprit...

Maybe you just swapped the plus and minus signs.

Yeah, I went ahead and swapped it out, and everything’s running smooth now 🙂

Working? Well, glad you didn't lose your mind or anything, I guess. Nice one. 😁
