I'm mostly impressed that you live within driving distance from a place that sells capacitors
or a general electronic component store :/, my nearest one is ~45 Minutes away in the biggest Town in my area.
@@bachibak I didn't even know such a thing existed so I guess mine is even further away.
There is just one there visible from naked eye near my apartment
I don't think there's such a store in my country
@@MsThekiller02 that's bad if you like to tinker with electronics
That 8-Bit Guy clip you put in had me dead omg
it fucking killed me it was so funny

wait, where is it from?
please, I really really like that clip, I must find it
@@markusTegelane Let me know if you find it. If I have the time I will search too xd.
Man I'm loving that the content is getting more and more common

whats more important:Sleep or Mattkc uploading once a millenium?
same boat!
ah shit guess i'll sleep at 12:37
I wish TH-cam would let me set nicknames for channels I'm subscribed to so I could leave a note for myself, like "the LEGO Island guy" or something.
Hm, good idea, but it's easier to just search up the title of the video, but yeah that would be a cool thing
Nice idea. Maybe an extension could do that.
Yeah
+1
@@zaf2774 yeah it's easier to search the title of the video, but I think the point is it'd solve seeing a new video in your sub box and going "Wait who's that?" if they're not a frequent poster.
Protip: You might be able to shine a light on the monitor and see the outline of whatever it's supposed to display (works best with text) even if the backlight is broken. If _that_ shows weird shapes, it might not only be the backlight that's broken 😳
Neither part of this is a guarantee for all LCD screens. Sometimes a screen will refuse to display anything if the backlight doesn't work. The Nintendo Switch is like this. Sometimes the display itself breaking will interfere with the backlight---I believe this is also on the Switch, where if any part of the display stops working, the backlight does too.
Some laptops will also be similar.
You did give good advice, but LCDs are really annoying as there is absolutely no standard amongst them on how they work or how they fail.
@@acumenium8157 Yeah this has never worked for me.
3:28 The way that he says that makes me laugh every time

I dropped literally everything to watch this
Same. Fuck homework. This Is important.
I did the same this
Me too
@@h3ph4ist0s. ......yup just yup
Same
i love when a electronic breaks and is just because a capacitor died, its so cheap and easy to fix :D
Ah yes, I love corroded traces and acid everywhere.
@@n646nIt's much easier than a tiny surface mount component, or a proprietary chip burning up.
I love these videos, Matt, but I fear you're making me seriously overestimate my basic electronics skills... You make it look so easy to repair everything I'm just like 'yeah I can do that too'... and then I actually try it...
You can do it! If you know the problem beforehand. Just need the expertise. Given instructions you 100% coulda done this. Uncertainty is the toughest thing to deal with
I mean, I "fixed" a Wii with a dead disk drive by just installing the Homebrew mod, so games can run from SD or USB drive.
Depending on what you need to fix you might not even need a soldering iron.
In the same way installing a SSD in an old laptop or desktop can give it a lot of new life, even moreso with a lightweight version of Linux installed instead of Windows, and Linux is quite easy to use in many ways now and will regularly run magnitudes faster than Windows on the same hardware.
So yeah, start with "fixes" that you can understand and manage and scale up where you can!
I've "repaired" two monitors by replacing the power boards entirely. Usually they cost around 30 USD. It's more wasteful and not as cool, but I have two 1080p lcd monitors that cost me 60 dollars in total. I just don't have the soldering and diagnostics skills for a more advanced repair.
I paused my favorite My Little Pony episode to watch this
Which episode though?
My personal favorite is Lesson Zero
NO YOU DIDN'T-
@@derpknightfully literally how?
what a legend
5:29 One of the only times anyone is happy to see a Windows 10 logo.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE WINDOWS 10
and then there's the windows 11 logo, just staring into you... menacingly...

Oh
Matt just made a big ol love scene and just is going to completely pretend it didn't happen and forget he did it?
Yeahh but now people get to see it and remind you of it over and over xD
fucking funny that was 🤣🤣🤣
It was soo funny
perfectly goes with the ASMR build guides xD
3:28 That will never stop being funny
The way he says it... powerful stuff.
deez nuts
4:55 “ i’m going to pretend that didn’t happen”
the internet never forgets matt
never
3:27 "DEEZ NUTS..."
Dead meme, but still funny lmaooooo
The best day when mattkc uploads after a month lol
Matt sure does talk passionately about his capacitors
Bro i could listen to you talk about electronics and software for days, would love to see more frequent uploads!
The Meme to content ratio is perfect.
3:27 "deeez NUTZ" lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣
@1:25 Damn that transistion was so smooth.
hehe deez nuts. Perfect
Just realized I had never subscribed before, so I just did! Nice to see Australian tech content creators doing their thing! Loved the video, great job MattKC!
do you know how much i was waiting for this? Every video you release is gold. Keep at it, you are doing an awesome work
Lol, when you broke out the sensual descriptions it reminded me of greasy moose, similar regional accent i think, but also the way you oozed out your hushed words, dripping with erogeny
I'm a simple man,
MattKC uploads a video
I click on it
this man know that truth
this is reposted literally everywhere.
Imagine my excitement when I went on TH-cam and found mattkc uploaded
A new MattKC video on my feed is all it takes to make it a good day 🙌
I just did this to an Acer monitor last month. I had to ask for caps as they were all behind the counter; there must have been some serious mixups
quite funky to watch this on a monitor that actually died entirely a few years ago! but it was fixed and its just. worked flawlessly ever since somehow. i dont know what the issue with it was
another MatthewKansasCity video yay
1:37 Plastic Tabs: Just Why?
Always, always, always make sure you discharge your capacitors before meddling with them. Even if the machine has been offline for quite some time, the capacitors can still be charged. Sometimes they, especially those used in the rectification, can store a lot of energy.
What a wonderful video to release during a time when right to repair is being emphasized!
monitors and tv's are so easy to fix....
i fixed a loooot of them over the years...
great job!
The 8-bit guy graphic was awesome.
Finally a new one, love your content great guy
just got off a MattKC binge this morning, perfect timing for a new video
the same thing happened to the of the monitors my dad brought from work, and of course a capacitor failed. Replaced it and now oy works.

Only today i noticed the typo at the start in the video. I WATCHED THIS VIDEO 3 TIMES BEFORE NOTICING
0:17 Was that the Eric Andre cheering? I recognize that YES anywhere
I can tell you recorded the footage for this video around three months ago. :)

How does he not go mad holding it!?
A couple of weeks ago I did this but with salvaged caps from various scrap electronics and now my 10 yr old 1080p monitor is back!
hell yeah, new mattkc upload
I love how he used the same intro as the XB360 thumbstick video.
Wooooo! Another MattKC video! I got so bored that I started watching old videos, that Windows 98 Cyber Sitcom was so funny :D
That cut with the towel is godlike I think you need to hear that since i‘m the only one who noticed it
Exactly what happened to my old monitor from 2007 and TV of the same era. Loud popping sound with a puff of smoke coming from the top. Just bought new ones because they were so old, but at least I now know what exploding caps sound like in real life.
I laughed so hard at 3:28
I fixed my free tv like this. It was p good as far as tvs went. Capacitor plague is common among the olevia 242 t11
Very cool. Thank you MattKC!
3:28 what a god
you had me at "had to go to a store" - consider yourself lucky if you live somewhere where there are some stores open since 2020 or somewhere where there are stores that havent went bankrupt in the last year yet.
0:09 the 8-bit guy! That was awesome
3:40 - I had repaired an acer monitor one time and the board was clicked in the same way as this board. This actually is because this prevents the board from popping out of the metal case. At that time the power supply port was ditched in and the board got stuck because the tape on the metal case was not tight enough. After 2 hours I got it to work again!
yeah, those models are known for making problems, i personally have two of the exact same models that yours but with the grey border and one of them hava a lack of red and the other have a very dark gamma, both of wich can be tweaked in the nvidia control panel but that makes using those monitor with consoles or anything else pretty dificult
Electrolytic Capacitors have a Polarity the stripe side mostly with a dash - is negative also the side also with the shorter lead. The board usually has the polarity stenciled on the board. This one has a dash - negative. On higher voltage boards if you have the wrong polarity they will blow with a hiss and release a smelly smoke. Just to help out and it may have already been mentioned in the comments.
The moment I saw the power light go on but nothing show, I was like "... It's the caps isn't it?" Lol
you can check for brocken backlight via using a flashlight or phone and you should see a dimm screen from different angles
My fav channel for soft capacitor corn
Your poke at the game gear is legendary
3:27 The emphasis on "Deez Nuts" made me spit out my drink in laughter.
After watching his Windows 98 videos recently, I expected this monitor fix to be way more complicated than just replacing capacitors.
This video made my saucy "MattxComputer Hardware" fanfiction seem considerably less weird.
O
Your voice is so excessively pleasant, I've accidentally fallen asleep while on break at work while watching your videos.
Man I was JUST looking at your old vids and wondering when he was uploading
3:42 : It's the power output
Thanks to you i have a second monitor, thanks.
(Actually my issue was worse than just faulty caps, the inverter was also ded. I changed it but only one lamp works)
Another one saved from the heap! Great stuff! 👍👍👍👍
the clip with david made me laugh harder than you could imagine
"deez nuts on the VGA output"
-MattKC
My precious time was not wasted. Joy is fulfilled.
dude i dont think ive ever clicked so fast on a video!!
thanks for the really good content!!! watching you talk about electronics (which i dont know anything about) is somehow a very good distraction from my anxiety and physical pain, so thanks a lot for that too!
6 minutes and 44 seconds well spent, great job Matt.
i was just watching my favourite mattkc but then my notification made me watch my new favourite mattkc
The intro was EPIC
We need that 8bitguy gif.
We need the green screen ver.

I can upload it to my channel in a couple hours or days if Mat doesn’t have it

been binge watching your old content about windows 98 since im a new sub. I'm surprised you uploaded a new video. Nice 👌
0:09 oh my god, the 8 bit guy killed me lmao
Thank you for gifting me with olive. My dumb creativity can now flow.
MattKC after finding a broken device: Changes the capacitors
The Device: I'm fixed now Yay.
I have a similar problem with a tv that has it's screen turn on sometimes, sometimes not, will have to give the capacitors a check
Matt is the only person who can make a 6 minute video of him fixing a monitor funny
Lol, Us crt monitor owners rarely have to fix our monitors
Matt kc: 6 minutes of your precious time.
School: make it 6 hours
how does matt make it fun to watch someone fix a dead monitor
Whilst capacitors in that era suffered badly, the light source of the time was often a cold cathode tube (It is in this monitor model), which would degrade over time. They have a small amount of mercury which is vapourised, and conducts electricty. After much use, some of the mercury binds to the glass and less is available to vapourise. This in turn pushes the power board harder, and puts it under more stress with also reduced light output. Eventually the power board will cut out, as the power required is undeliverable, or it would fail. Replacing the cold cathode tube(s) at the same time is also a good idea, which also increases brightness, plus the capacitors, whilst are better nowadays, are still under stress. I've done this before, however they do contain mercury, and are highly fragile. I've not done this for many years as modern screens are mercury free, but hope this explains what's going on too.
I also have the exact same model of monitor as my secondary Display, though mine has a silver border. And great to see you upload again, love your Content!
3:27 Yo you gotta warn us when you're gonna drop one of those lmao, 10/10
Now that 8-Bit Guy clip killed me extremely
da monitr jus don-d-do-don do it!
This is the only channel I have the notifications bell turned on for.
I love how he inserts snippets of david murray in his videos
Please make sure to always ground & discharge all capacitors first, when dicking around with the internals.

I personally had one 19.5 inch 900p LG monitor lying around from 2006 in my parent's attic of junk which was not working, and when I saw this video, I opened up the monitor to find out that it had the exact same issue as this monitor, the capacitors were blown up, I replaced them and viola, its working good as a monitor for my moms laptop, its at least bigger than her laptop screen which is just 14", and she loves using that
