My brother gave me an el-cheapo LCD (i'm at work now so dont have the name in front of me). He said the display went out on it so at first I thought it might be backlight or power source. What I found was that the caps on the video board were bulging. After doing some searching on the net I found on another site that someone was having issues with a Rosewill lcd with the same video board being used. I borrowed there picture for here to show the board I have and layout of caps.

I am new to this forum and hope that someone here can give me a little assistance with my project I am going to try myself. I also sent this to the website admin under the contact us page, but wasn't sure how busy the admin is and if he could get to my message so I am posting here as well.
