Monitor fix and upgrade

Daily Life, Posts with Images, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Unfortunately my HP w2207h monitor recently failed leaving me with a computer and no monitors.

I really should have fixed my Samsung SyncMaster 225BW monitor a while ago!  I stripped down the Samsung monitor and removed the power supply board, de-soldered and removed the five faulty electrolytic capacitors and replaced them with new ones and re-assembled everything.  One monitor fixed in half an hour at a total cost of a couple of pounds.

Unfortunately I wasn’t so lucky with the HP monitor, it needed a new panel and while it is still possible to source a replacement panel I couldn’t be confident that it didn’t also have a back light inverter problem so I decided to replace the monitor with a LG 22EA53 IPS panel LED monitor bought from Novatech which I’m really pleased with.

No excuse now not to complete my VAT return!

A wet Friday

I had an appointment with the hygienist first thing this morning in Cardiff, called into Tesco at Upper Boat on the way back for breakfast and a little shopping. I called over to see my mum this afternoon and she was actually at home! Installed a few more programs on the new notebook, just about all the key software I need is now on it. Submitted my VAT return on-line using the e-vat system, I just wish entering up all my sales and purchases etc. into the accounting package was as quick and easy.
