Hey there guys, truly hidden gem here on the internet. Not sure how 'hidden' it is, but I just hadn't stumbled upon this forum yet. Sorry, that could've gone in my intro post.
Anyhow, I have a V7 D22W12 LCD monitor which I'm pretty sure just needs a little TLC, and it may become usable again. Once connected, it will display a desktop for ~2 seconds, then go blank. My internet research on such matters suggests fried capacitors. I have fixed circuit boards previously with my tremor riddled hands, and figured, why not give this one a shot?
I pulled apart the LCD down to the power inverter board. I do indeed see one 1000uf 25v cap with a buldging lid and white goo. Another blue coin shaped cap has similar goo. Interestingly, every pic I've found of this board shows that blue coin shaped cap with white goo. For instance:

Dead center of the pic is the white goo on the cap. Directly left of that behind the heatsink is a taller, green cap. That is the bludging goo covered cap on my board. That pic actually appears to show a bit of white goo too, perhaps the goo is normal?
If the goo is normal, then maybe I just need to try to replace the 1000uF 25v cap. Without a RadioShak nearby, which website to you guys favor for caps?
Assuming the goo is abnormal, could somebody help me identify that blue coin shaped cap? My eyes can't make out the TINY writing on it.
ILPI-033 1
REV: C
2008/05/15 is the board identification.
The caps in question are C815 (bludging tall green one) and C823-1 (round blue coin one)
I found somebody else refering to the ILPI-033, and thought the PDF there might help, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

I can submit pics if needed. But the top pic is my board.
Thanks in advance for your help.

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...
