When to use low ESR in repairs ....
I've just finished repairing a failed Acer AL1912 LCD monitor in which an
electro in the main switcher output had pulled the system down. All the electros are 105C and measure higher ESR than I'd like, so they will all be replaced while I'm in there as routine. There is no indication whether the existing ones were low ESR or standard. Is there any potential issue if I fit low ESR in place of standard, or vice versa? |

Electros in switchers should always be low ESR types. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

Replace with low ESR anyway. |
