Hi guys, new member here.
About a week ago, my Samsung 226BW S Panel began to flicker/blink on and off when I open it after the monitor has been closed for a while. It takes about a minute or two before the flickering slows down over time and eventually stops altogether - and the monitor then works just fine.
Is this a symptom of a bad capacitor? Is it a difficult job to replace these capacitors, for someone like me who has NEVER soldered anything before? I do have experience with computer hardware though, I've built a fair share of computers by myself and I generally feel pretty confident about tinkering with electronics. Still though, soldering is something I've yet to do.
If this actually is a capacitor issue, would it be a good idea to replace all of them, not just the broken ones?
