I got this question from my ERG member:

What would cause the blue cap to burst like this? I have had 2 Optiquest 19″ LCD’s with the exact problem. I replaced the cap and it still does not work. What other component would you suggest would cause this to blow up like this?

My answer to him was:

“It could be the quality problem. Try replace one with a higher voltage ie; if it use 160v then put in a 250 volt. Check all the surrounding components that lead to the capacitor. ”

By the way, if you have any electronic repair questions with any photos you can send it to me and i will do my best to answer you. Have a good day!
