Intec psone screen power help

I was removing the inputs board and the 7.5V input power jack is located on it and once the power comes into the jack it has a 15V electrolytic capacitor(black cylinder) on the path before the lead heads to the wire that hooks to the motherboard. Do I need this... What does this capacitor do? Any help is appreciated

Let me guess, 100uF or 1000uF, right? Just there to clean the power line. You don't need it.

BTW, saying the voltage rating of a cap does absolutely nothing in most cases.

Alright thanks it didn't sound important at first but thought I'd make sure. Yea and for anyone else's info the S-Video it supposedly supports is phoney.

Sadly the only signal it uses from the s-video is the standard ntsc video and not the luminance channel

The screen is also mighty dark which I believe will be greatly fixed with an LED or backlight of some sort...

If you figure out how to LED backlight it please post pics of how you did it. My intec screens' backlight went out long ago and I would like to fix it
Thanks.

Sure thing, once I get a case I'll be posting pics of the entire unit and putting it together. Im not too sure if i want to be drawing any more amps from my batteries though. I havnt really gotten to use my screen much yet but it does look pretty dark though maybe it was just lighting. But if its really bad I will go install some sort of lighting external or internal(whichever is easier).

The draw will probably be less with LEDs, rather than the CCFL.
