    Replaced 2 buldging caps on a dead monitor, now flickering?

    The monitor is a DGM 24" monitor.

    It were completely dead, so I took a look inside and replaced 2 bulging caps (16v 1000uf). I replaced them with the same rating and Panasonic low ESR caps.

    It works and turns on, but now there is a flickering across the screen. The picture is there from the VGA port and it looks clear if it wasn't for the lines.

    The whole picture jumps up and down slightly too.

    I checked the cables etc and everything is in place.

    Have I missed some caps?

    I tested a capacitor that was a 35v 1000uf and it would only get a reading if I reversed the polarity?

      Problem solved!

      Tested all the other caps and found no problems, so resoldered them, and removed some old adhesive glue crap. And now the monitor works without problems!

        You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

        Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore
