For the past month I have has the bad cap 226bw flickering problem. I have known about this and after a bit of googleing, and posts here, I had all of my parts ready to fix the monitor (667-ECA-1EHG331 X 1 667-EEU-FC1E821 x 2) when it finally bit the dust / I couldnt handle the flicking on startup anymore.
Today was that day.
When I went to power up by blue stand-by light was not on and I could not power on the monitor. Figured it was time to pull everything apart and replace the caps. So a few hours and 1 iron burn later I replaced the three caps. When I went to re-assemble everything I was very sad to find out that my standby light and power would not turn on.
The power cable IS plugged in! (phew)
The computer recognizes the monitor via the dvi cable. I can drag windows to the 226bw screen but can not see it as it will not power on.
I have dis-assembled the monitor again to check all of the connections. They are good.
Any advice before I just hop on newegg and upset my wallet by buying a new monitor?

Many thanks everyone.
