| In cbox diagnosed to a power supply problem in the monitor. Recommend replacing due to the following: Because of the big electric charge held within the capacitors inside it. Capacitors store energy (power) for an indefinite time. Touching both leads of any capacitor can give you a real good jolt. For example, your television set is a giant capacitor in electronic terms: even though a TV may have just been switched off and unplugged, there may still be about 40,000 volts stored up in its cathode ray tube (CRT) that will cause great harm unless proper precautions are taken to discharge it safely. The same applies to a computer's power supply because computer power supplies have very large capacitors (elements that store charge) that could give you a very powerful shock if you managed to discharge them. They're like batteries that let go of all their charge at once. Power supplies have large capacitors in them. These capacitors store electricity in them even when mains power is shut off. If you were to contact the connections on the bottom of the capacitors, you could receive a Power supplies have large capacitors in them. These capacitors store electricity in them even when mains power is shut off. If you were to contact the connections on the bottom of the capacitors, you could receive a lethal shock. For this reason, you should never disassemble a power supply unless you have received training in how to properly discharge the capacitors.
