I'm doing a capacitor replacement on my Billabs BL27CB0P. I'm going to document the process here for anyone else intending to do the same.
Ever since I got the monitor I noticed some
squishing around the edges. In sidescrollers, it's like the image is being wrapped onto the screen as if it's being pulled off a roll of paper towel. Although I learned to just live with it over the last ten years, the last time I opened up the back of the cabinet I noticed a couple bulging capacitors. It's time for an overhaul. Hopefully it fixes the edge squishing, but if not, at least it will hopefully last another ten years.
The BL27CB0P is a 27" multisync monitor and there is little information about it online, but
the original product page is archived here. Although it's a rebranded Wei-Ya, I can't find the original Wei-Ya model number. As such, I've had no luck finding schematics online.
I've setup a shared Google Drive folder with disassembly images and a capacitor inventory. The inventory sheet has tabs for the Mainboard, Neckboard, and VGAboard. I'm getting help from Peter at
arcadepartsandrepair.com. He's going to be the one setting up a cap kit for me.
This will be my first cap kit installation, so I'm excited. Well, as excited as I can be for something that has 72 caps... Yikes. Stay tuned...
