Acer AL2216W was dead-- NOT ANYMORE!!!

Caps in today.
A little solder, a little checking, a little second checking for luck, a little re-installation of parts--plug it in....

VOILA!!
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

Total outlay, $5 for caps ( I got an extra of all seven I needed. I've done something like this before, I KNOW how it sometimes goes...) $7 for shipping. (got here in < three days)

Bragging rights with friends??
PRICELESS!
Thank you everyone who assisted and encouraged me.
Put me down as a satisfied...

YIP YIP Yahoo! Caps are due in today.
Maybe tonight I will get to put them in and see if this thing works!

Hmmm. Those are ceramic capacitors right?
I'll look into that too....

Re: Acer AL2216W Dead!! Here we go!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I decided to give my business to BADCAPS.The least I could do! I got Rubycons (sp?)
The monitor was DARK. but the power light on the right corner flashed from green to yellow/brown to green etc.
I got all the caps except the big 450V one. Might as well be safe.

Well, the monitor gave up the ghost last night.

I found BADCAP searching the 'net to find a solution.
I FINALLY got the darn thing open, and sure enough, there was a capacitor that had swelled, and is presumably bad.
So the plan is:
-Buy the appropriate caps (there are eight. Do I need to replace the big 120uF 450V one?
-Remove the old, replace with the new ones
-Rebuild the monitor
-Save 200 dollars!

Sound about right?
I will check out DigiKey etc and put in an order.
I am a ham radio operator so I have some...
