I stumbled upon a cheap Chinese "Konka" 37" LCD on my drive to work. No idea of it's condition and I believe it may have been there for a while (and rained on) 
, and has three blown caps on what I assume is the input side (not marked hot/cold) from the size and voltages of the caps. The power supply is made by a company called "speedy-tech". The fuses are fine, but not a drop of voltage is on the output header.
What would cause this (apart from the CapXon brand) and is it reasonable to replace the caps or could this be a sign of potentially greater issues? I've never had big 450v caps blow before.
Also, there are two separate CCFL inverters, one on each side. They are marked "LG. Phillips LCD Co ... YPNL-T010D" also one is "slave" the other is "master". They each only seem to have one wire going to the CCFL; the pink 'high'. What's the story there? Have they both been ripped out or are they meant to be like that (passing from one side to the other, perhaps?)?
The blown caps are:
2 x 10μf 450v
2 x 100μf 450v (highest on shelf here is 400v, could I possibly use this? My supply is max 245vac)
I can do higher-res photographs if desired.
Thanks!

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...
