Before this I noticed sometimes a very very slight flicker that would go away then one day blam just black. I thought it might be the backlight or something. So after taking it apart it has 4 boards, the PSU all the caps looked fine but two of the others had slightly buldging caps from a brand called Elite which i never saw before. all the bulging ones are 24v, I'm wondering if it's even worth fixing something that old to resell and messing with it for ages. From what i heard Dell doesn't send out extra boards or stock them. So i counted about 8 or so caps that looked suspect. Would someone here go sure it's worth it just order new better caps and see if that is the only problem or just scrap it?
On edit the rest are perfectly flat on top and no signs of failing but there are a ton of them would it just be better to pick out the visible bad ones instead of the tedious task of doing them all which someone that doesn't do it all the time isn't a breeze like a pro.
