This is my first LCD disassembly.
The monitor is still working, but static images on the screen have an animated appearance, like the pixels are alive and chattering about. Booting the machine shows the normal black POST screen as very green.
The two-part board has three CapXon 330uF/25v and two 180uF/25v of unknown parentage on the smaller daughter board. The daughter board has two transformers and appears to be the high voltage board. The primary board has the wall-wart and VGA connector inputs.
This was mostly an exercise in lookey-see rather than attempting a repair. I'm just curious if bad caps could cause the above symptoms, if if the cause is deeper in. I know zilch about display service techniques.
