Great!

The only thing is to be sure the parts are low ESR and high temp or the will fail very quick and could damage the power supply board when they fail.

I have a LG L226WTX monitor, and it was suffering from the same kind of problem. After it finally died, I took it apart figuring I wasn’t out anything, and found the same bulging caps pictured above.

I took the board to a local guy, and had him swap out the caps, and when I put everything back together it worked like a champ.

thanks for the good write up!

I have to give this guide a VERY HUGE THANKS! It solved my problem on my LG L226WTQ-BFQ monitor. After a week of blank screens when turning it on, the monitor just stopped working (the power LED wouldn’t lit up). There was a barely audible noise coming from within the monitor, probably the sound a damaged capacitor makes. Upon disassembling, the power board had a different layout than the one on this guide. There was only 1 1000uF 25V capacitor, not 3 as displayed here, and there were 2 1000uF 16V capacitors. I replaced the 3 capacitors and may monitor came back to life when i plugged it in. This is the best budget repair! Thank you Corporate Computer for saving us from having to buy a new monitor.
