I recently recapped an Acer AL2017 LCD. The monitor worked a few hours but then started clicking which I erroneously attributed to a coil. The monitor died completely afterward and there's no power. I opened it up and surely enough, I soldered a Panasonic FC 10V 220uF capacitor the wrong way.
I'm not sure where to go from here. I replaced it, but there's still no power to the screen. Something is blown. Is there a fuse I should be looking for or is it maybe the starter cap or the main primary?
Also, the Panasonic cap that was in the wrong way bulged slightly and is probably not good anymore. The other caps look ok. Do you think I should trust them or should I check their ESR?
