After finding another post here on the same monitor and repairing my Phillips plasma TV's power supply capacitors a month or so ago I figured I'd report my fixed Samsung 205BW.
The post I found (and didn't want to revive or hijack) was is here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11766
Thanks all!
I managed to replace all but the small 10uF and the giant one. Neither two looked bad though the two 1000uF ones attached to the bulb(s) didn't look bad either but it didn't work right until I replaced those as well. Had I had the 10uF 50V (or higher voltage) I'd have replaced the little one as well.
The symptoms of my monitor were weak/lack of colors and error prone menu. At times the buttons were also unresponsive though I've seen and experienced other issues with the buttons. I'll report back if I encounter any post-repair issues with it.
Currently it's connected to an older white Intel based Macbook via DVI with a display port adaptor.
