How to Repair the Optiquest Q9b 19” Computer Monitor
Intro
The Optiquest Q9b 19” monitor is made by Viewsonic. Optiquest is their cheaper line.
Cheap may be an understatement. These monitors are poorly constructed and have a
habit of having the inverter burn out after 18-24 months of use. After research and
deconstructing a monitor, I have discovered that the inverter burn out is due to three
swollen capacitors. The capacitors used in this monitor can be attributed to what is
called the capacitor plague. These capacitors can be replaced in a fairly easy manner.
Items needed
3 470µF 35V 20% Radial-lead Electrolytic Capacitors
Phillips head screwdriver
A Small flathead screwdriver or a small plastic wedge
Solder
Soldering iron
Desoldering braid
Desoldering bulb or a solder sucker
Felt Tip marker
