May or may not be complete, but is free.
You may also need to download some other software to decompress and
view it.

www.repairfaq.org has quite a bit of information on safety.

With a good flashlight, you might be able to visually see some
electrolytic capacitors starting to bulge out ever so slightly out the
top. That might be a place to start with the freeze spray.


I noticed a couple of capacitors have a bulge on the top. So, I'm
planning on replacing them to see if it makes a difference. However, I
don't really know where to go an buy capacitors or electrical components
in general. Anyone knows a good place to buy them in Montreal
(preferably near downtown)? Any advice would be of great help.

Thanks,

www.raybel.com seemed to be a bit out of the way, so I went to
www.abra-electronics.com (another place is Active Electronics on Ferrier
and Boul. De-carie) Got the capacitor and a couple of other things I
needed. It took me more than hour of carefully dismantelling the
monitor, whose chasis and other things are designed beautifully. Full
point to Sony for that. The capacitor changing took about 2minutes and
then we built the monitor back again.

Now its working 99% OK with only a *little* high pitched sound. The
sound stops after a minute or so. I think it probably another capacitor
which hard to indentify visibly. But the monitor is behaving perfectly
otherwise. There are not visual defects like earlier with the old capacitor.

Thanks to all for all the help. I gained a lot of knowledge about the
CPD E200 monitor by doing this. This was my first time tinkering with a
monitor (had only played with TVs earlier). Now I will be able to play
UT on my GeForce FX 5700LE again
