    Monitor caps

    New guy here. My monitor went out so now I am doing all of my home computer stuff from my cell phone. Not fun, trust me.

    My monitor one day just went to a straight black screen. Thinking it was a part in my tower I switched everything over to some old parts I had laying around. Didn't fix it. When I went to turn my monitor off and then on again I noticed a squealing sound coming from the monitor.

    I then broke my monitor down to get to the main board. I don't know if the caps are blown but 2 of them appear to be.

    Can I get replacements at radio shack or another local store? Tallahassee, Fl

    Try Digikey or Mouser. Radio Shack does not carry the appropriate caps. Unsolder those caps out of the board and tell us what it says on them.

    A working TV? How boring!

      Unsolder all of them or just what I think might be blown? About how much should it cost me to do them all?

        It's quite hard to tell you the prices "across the pond"

        A few dollars anyway, not much. An ESR meter will tell you which ones to replace if you don't want to replace all of them, but will cost you several times more than all caps.
