About replacing caps on a monitor where some caps look ok

[Yamashiro]

Just opened up a monitor, and I see 2 out of a 4 array caps are bad, should I replace all 4 or just the 2 bloated ones?



What about other caps on the board that look ok?

PS the monitor was turning on for a second and then off.

if the 4 are the same value then replace all of them - is that a 5th one near it?

The two upper ones (the bulging ones) are 1000uF 16V and the lower two are 470uF 35V, the one to the upper left of them is also 1000uF.

replace the 1000uf ones.
the reason for doing all of them is incase there is a poor batch or something - saves opening it again in a month just to do another one!

you probably have to buy them in 5's anyway.
