I fixed my first LCD computer monitor

After years of getting numerous LCD TV's and monitor's with more problems than I wanted to fool with, I finally got one that I was able to easily fix.

The subject was a Dell monitor from 2003; that, of course, was made in China. The person who owned it said it wouldn't power up and that he was going to have it recycled. I talked him into letting me take a look at it before he dumped it. The problem turned out to be 4 bad electrolytic capacitors, with 3 of them buldging out the top. There were two Elite brand 1000uf caps on the power supply board and two Jamco brand 220uf caps on the inverter board that were bad and after they were replaced, the monitor fired right up and the owner was happy.

Now, I'd like to find some LCD TV's that are that easy to fix. I think I could actually make some decent money off of those.
