Common issue with a certain time frame of manufacturing. Cheap chinese garbage
capacitors were used in a number of monitors and flat panel TV. I had a
monitor go out and took it to a TV repair shop. Those are getting rare. Guy
knew exactly which capacitor it was without even opening it up.
it seems most monitors fail because of cheap chinese substandard caps. i
have a nice on in the closet i've been meaning to et to for a while now

Both were polarized. This is a solid state monitor. Fixed a friends
fairly new solid state TV which had the same problem. Seems like
manufacturers would use higher quality or heavier duty caps.
Thanks for the reminder.

found a 330 mfd 15 volt capacitor had a slightly rounded top.
Was this one polarized, or non-polarized? The distinction
is, as they say, tres important. As I recall there is often
a non-polarized cap in a tube monitor, and you _cannot_ replace
it with a polarized one. NP's are not usually fou

image horizontally making it unusable.
I took the monitor apart and found a 330 mfd 15 volt capacitor had a
slightly rounded top. That was the only problem I could find.
Radio Shack had no 330 mfd capacitors but I did have a 33
