First large "flat" TV I ever look at and its a plasma one. Dust never

Other than never hold / lean against the front panel, and no bending of

Out of interest, was it manufactured some time in 2007?

I ask because I've just replaced eight out of the nine electrolytics on
the psu board of a Syncmaster 2232bw flat panel monitor that was
manufactured October 2007. All swelling and showing signs of leakage.

I have a second 2232bw in the bedroom that I'm going to change them all
too as a matter of course. CapXon is the make of the caps.

Dates of 2007 around it. 2 swollen/burst + one poor ESR all 105 deg C ,Low
V, replaced, not had time to power up again. At least there is plenty of
space in these sort of things for different footprint or taller caps as I
like to replace with next higher voltage.
