Planar Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

I have a red tint on the left side of my display at all times. also red smear after any white boxes in display. Has anyone else had this problem?

Where did you get the capacitor from?

I have the same problem, with the cover off I used a hair dryer to warm the C18 capacitor then switch the tv on and it works. C18 is located at the top of the power board, thats the second board on the left, it's value is 450wv 330uf. Until I can get the capacitor I leave the back open. Let me know this works for you.

The information comes on the same manual of the planar monitor d5015TM (see as medical monitor)

Check your leads, chances are it's a faulty/dodgy lead coming from your macbook to the system.

It is the power supply. Replace the C97, C19, and C16 Capacitors with 2.2 uF ones.

yeah you are you need to replace that, or else you contact your prodcut vendor.

your power board can cost 120-350

It could likely be the flyback transformer, usually found in the right or left rear corner of the monitor. Be careful though, it packs enough stored power to kill ya. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"

So the old power supply doesn't have the output voltage, current and polarity noted on the label? What a ripoff! *grin* Did you look on the case near where it plugs into the monitor? Sometimes that will tell you the voltasge and polarity. Poliarity? Get that one wrong and the monitor could be cooked instantly! But it's usually positive. I found a completed eBay listing that had this info: "the power supply which the seller used to power up this Planar Flat Panel is inventoried as follows: ViewSonic 12V Power Adaptor Model # SYS1126-5012" I looked that one up, and it's listed as 12V at 4.17A. PC Hub has them for $28.62: http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/345-19804-2285/AC_Power_Adapter_5V-12V_Others_SYS1126-5012.html Good luck!
