M0401 AppleColor High-Res RGB monitor capacitor list?
- Thread starter JC8080
- Start date
I am currently going over my monitor and have the PSU and D - Board listed. Please note that this is not 100% verified but is to my best knowledge is accurate. I should be getting the first batch of capacitors in a few days.

Great, this is very helpful, please update if you find any errors in your list. Are you recapping any of the other boards?
Why are you recapping? Preemptively, or to try to fix an issue? Mine works fine but is a bit dimmer than I think it should be, but it's been so many years since I used one of these I really don't remember how bright they should be.

I am glad it was helpful.
I will let you know the progress and if I find and issues.
I was having, what I can describe only as contrast issues that, when the monitor was warm, would fix itself. Figured that was a perfect indication of failing capacitors. I could use my EGR to determine which are good or bad but I figure for the $40 in capacitors, it's a great investment in the monitors future.
Hope all is well!
Here is the main filter cap on the G-board (power supply). As you can see, she's a beauty 
That cap looks a bit rough. I heard recently, maybe from Adrian's Digital Basement, that a bulging appearance is normal for those large caps with the plastic bit covering the top of the cap, and it is not necessarily a sign of leakage. That one is bulging quite significantly though, it would definitely concern me. When I have recapped IIsi PSUs I have always replaced the large caps even though people say it is not necessary. I figure as long as I'm in there, and already ordering parts, I may as well do it for peace of mind.
Well, everything on the list was indeed accurate. I can share what I bought from Mouser with the exception of the filter cap. Although it was the correct size and value, the lead spacing was off by just enough that I drank an entire beer until I was able to figure that one out 
but in the end it did indeed work out flawlessly.
I found a few cracked potentiometers so my geometry is off until I care enough to take it apart and/or find the values online.
Also, note that I didn't recap the rear AV board as I didn't see a reason to. Maybe someone can add that last part for the world.
A lot of the caps I removed were Rudycon caps which aren't bad but they were 85c rated and I changed them to 105c high life rating so hopefully the next person to do this will be after I'm dead.
I will post the Mouser list the moment I get home.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the late response with the Mouser list. Got a horrible cold and am still going through it.
In any case, here is the PDF you can use to order the parts from Mouser or cross them to your preferred vendor.

Here's a list of aluminium electrolytic capacitors from one of my 13" AppleColor High Res RGB monitors. This list covers three boards: video color board B, deflection board D and PSU. The other two boards, C and J, do not have such capacitors. This unit was manufactured in September 1990 according to the sticker on the back. Note that this particular unit is marked M0401X not M0401.

I am also looking for information on some capacitors, especially the C713, C723, or C733, data I have not been able to find
, I do not know if they are really capacitors either, in this picture you can see this green component, it is the one that is damaged and I want to replace it.
I have an M1297 that I’ve been putting off recapping because it’s a big job. But I’m working through all my old gear bit by bit, so I’ll get to it.
The display works well aside from having a bit of keystone/pincushion distortion. It’ll be interesting to see if a recap sorts that as well as any other improvements.

My monitor worked flawlessly after the recap for about 6+ months but I now have wavy video so I am assuming that the large filter cap I ordered didn't stand the test of time.
My older daughter started soccer and now my life revolves around practice and games so I haven't had a chance to get back inside the monitor to see what might have failed.
Recapping in my opinion is mostly for longevity sake of the electronics as caps can fail in time but my monitor was working before the service so I didn't do it to fix any particular issue.
I did purchase a second unit so that I can swap boards until i find the culprit and can start narrowing down the issue, just need time on my side to finish the job.

I believe that might be cracked solder joints on the various cable connectors usually. Reflowing all of them cleared that up for me on some monitors.
I have had strange geometry distortion (not part of config, like only one corner has a weird curve) be resolved by recapping.
The bigger issue is when the fly back starts going bad. Can’t fix that unless you find a donor that has a working one. My M1212 13” RGB seems to have a bad fly back that is manifesting itself as weird screen shaking accompanied by sudden bursts in brightness and resizing of the screen. Bursts as in the screen is twice as bright and magnified/distorted.
Thanks for your replies! Good hint, to reflow the connector solder joints @jmacz I have four of these monitors now in total. At least one of the newer models as a parts machine. Let me check if I can get a hold its flyback. One of the monitors is great but slightly rotated image. None of the Apple manuals is talking about that issue. I loosened the neckboard screws but still could not rotate the element with the copper coils. Maybe I have to cut loose that white glue/paint around it?
Depending on the CRT, they are usually secured either with a weak glue, or some rubber stoppers. If it's just glue like the SE CRTs, you can just grab the deflection coil firmly, push forward (toward the screen) and twist. Make sure you don't put any sideways pressure on the neck since it's weaker than the main body.
