HI all.
I've just recently started to understand the difference in ripple ratings of capacitors. I have this lcd that shows caps in the power board that are clearly swollen on top and show signs of some fluid loss.
They are all 2200u10v samwha wb series. Some research on the net showed me that they are super low impedance caps and thus can handle high ripple conditions. The best replacement i could find here are Rubycon yxf series. Will this do? I would also like to know if replacing the caps with ones with a higher voltage rating is advisable for more reliabilityas it seems that the higher votage caps have higher permissable ripple ratings (of course the size of the cap is then larger and i would have to see if the higher voltage cap will still fit well in the board).
From what i understand general purpose caps just won't last as replacements,even if ones with higher voltage ratings are used.
Would appreciate any help guys!

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
