Does anyone know the voltage of capacitor c605 on a dell 2407?

from Stardock Forums

So recently my dell 2407 monitor blew.  I took it apart, and after looking I found the capacitor that blew:

To make sure, I cleaned it off a bit with a screwdriver, and sure enough, it's blown:

I have one issue, there's no specifications on the capacitor or the board on what voltage the capacitor uses.  So I can't exactly go and pick one up on radio shck or order online unless I know the specifications.

Does anyone know?

The current sense resistor (0.68 ohm) outer layer partly had came off and slightly burnt and the filter capacitor c605 (68uf 400v) one of the pins had became rusted

Amazing what kind of info one's able to find, using Google.... ;-)

I found that too, but that is for a 15" dell.  I'm not sure if a 24" dell would use the same voltage, and uysing the wrong voltage will fry the monitor.

If you've got one bad cap, the others are probably from the same batch so I wouldn't but a lot of value on trying to repair it. If it's not under warranty, it's probably time for a new one (one that doesn't use cheap caps).

Try writing this guy! http://www.thecapking.com/ I bought stuff from him to repair my video card and he was pretty helpful. ;)

Possibly, but I'm in the process of testing the other caps for capacitance on my multimeter.  If something else blew then I'll be worried...
