Is there anything advisable to replace on a portrait display? It’s silent and seems to run just fine, a little bit off center is all. Nice and bright with some headroom. Frankly surprised it’s in the good of shape but I want to stave off any imminent failures.
Maybe it’s better to ask what should I look out for?

I recapped mine. It was working fine before and worked fine after. Did it proactively. Found a few capacitors leaking.

Looks like it's all be done… :)


Except I need to carefully select caps. If you happen to have an updated list, great. Otherwise I'm going to take a closer look at all of it and put together a new cart. One of the caps in the list is discontinued. One poster thought that the rating on the sweep board ones were too low.

I have relied on pre-configs kits from Console5, so selecting caps will be painful for me, but gotta learn sometime…
