HELP! - Replacing Voltage Regulator IC and Main Filter Capacitor.
Wyluli:
I have a WG K7000 monitor.
Ken Layton:
You are correct on both counts as to location of those parts!
The k7000 series had used 4 different voltage regulators in the production run so be sure to replace the unit with the same part number as what's in it now. Here are the 4 possibilities:
STR30130
STR3130
STR30123
STR3123
Bob Roberts stocks these.
menace:
take a look in the faq--i put up readings from a known working str30130--compare yours to that and you'll know whether yours is pooched.
Wyluli:
Will do, thanks menace. Do I need to worry about any kind of shock when I go to replace the voltage regulator? Is there anything special I need to do before removing it and replacing it with a new one?
I'm trying to read up on monitor info, but it's hard to find good sites and Randy Fromms is currently down, although I'm sifting through what I can in his index.
Wyluli:
*ordered the parts and they are on the way.
Anyone give me advice on this? Do I need to worry about any kind of shock when I go to replace the voltage regulator? Is there anything special I need to do before removing it and replacing it with a new one?
