Bad news as far my luck goes on this repair. I changed out one 220uf capacitors. I could only change one because that’s how many my local Radio Shack had left. I did get enough 10uf capacitors to replace the old ones on the video board but that’s where my problems got worse. I underestimated the difficulty level in getting the old capacitors off. Those capacitors are so small that’s it’s very hard to get them off the board. I ended up burning the pads off of one of the connections when trying to get them off the board. I’m an unaware of how to fix this or if it can be fixed at all. This frustrates me so much because I don’t think there was actually anything wrong with the video board in the first place. It looks like I might have to come up with the money for a new monitor.

I took the monitor apart today and pulled the power supply board out. I read that if any of the capacitors were bad that the tops would be bulging but I didn’t see any like that. They all looked good to me so now I...
