In this video, I show you how to repair a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW TV by replacing the capacitors in the power supply. This TV is a great choice for retro gaming enthusiasts, as it has all the inputs you need, such as VGA, DVI, S-video, and composite. You can use it to connect your old computers and consoles and enjoy the nostalgia. The Samsung SyncMaster 940MW is a 19-inch LCD monitor with a built-in TV tuner and speakers. It has a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It was released in 2006 and received positive reviews for its picture quality and versatility. However, some users reported that the TV would not turn on or would shut off randomly after a few years of use. This is a common problem caused by faulty capacitors in the power supply board. If you have a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW TV that is not working properly, don’t throw it away. You can fix it yourself with some basic tools and skills. All you need are some replacement capacitors, a soldering iron, a screwdriver, and some patience. In this video, I will guide you through the steps of opening the TV, identifying the bad capacitors, desoldering them, and soldering the new ones. You will be surprised by how easy and satisfying it is to repair your own TV. I hope you find this video helpful and informative.
