So I was given a Dell E171FPb LCD monitor and told it "was flickering and then died". When I tested it myself, it certainly flickered (I couldn't get it to die though). It appeared to be the backlight rather than the LCD itself, but I'm not 100%. I opened it up, took off the caps from the power supply and board leading to the backlight, tested them, and replaced 1 bad cap. Still have the same issue. It appears to be working better (maybe it's just my imagination), but it still flickers. Any ideas? I can include pics of the board if necessary.
ALSO: One 1000uf cap was showing almost 1500uf on my tester. Could that be the problem?
EDIT: Forgot to mention there's a relatively high amount of "electrical" whine coming from the display. Does the backlight need replaced?
