It Lives Again !!! Replaced Capacitors in Monitor, Welcome back old Friend.

Okay, Old man me is having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to post both pictures, so here is finished product. I didn't take any pictures in the step by step process but here is a picture as I finished and was about to put back together. https://i.imgur.com/XeoENEz.jpg I would have to say difficulty level was moderate to difficult because of how the previous person did some of these capacitors. Taking them out probably took over 30 minutes for 6 capacitors, adding solder maybe 5 minutes for all 6. Definitely suggest trying this before tossing an old monitor.

I made a post here about a shoutout to this old workhorse of 11 years, I posted it late at night and got maybe 3 or 4 upvotes. Literally a week later it died. It being so old I figured the capacitors might have blown. Took it apart and confirmed 3 of the 6 major capacitors were bulging. Ordered $21 tax/ship kit on amazon. All is well, except for the battle scars I added to my monitor. Should have NOT used plastic picnic table as work area.

I was planning on using this monitor as my secondary when I replaced it (before it died), but I think I'll keep on using it. I have a 4k TV I could use (not ideal I know), but not buying a new monitor, well... maybe I can afford that 3070

Certainly a magical experience. I did the same for my old Samsung 245BW after it died a capacitor death 4 years into usage. It's now 12 years old and still kicking! I believe I learned how to solder on that project.
