Digital BW, The Print

just wanted to give a very belated thanks for this post, so that if anyone else has the problem it's here in the archive. After problems placing the order and delivery to correct address, I finally got the replacement caps and my monitor runs like new. A little past electronics assembly experience helps, but for $12 and 1/2 hour of work, problem solved.
Thanks for the advice.

Local VCR repair guy replaced four for twenty bucks after I took the power board out of the monitor and dropped it off.  His take was cheap chinese capacitors.  Makes sense, the capacitors are used to fire up the various power functions.  Blown capacitors will cause the screen to flicker until it catches.  The more capacitors that are blown make it harder and harder to start until it just won't go at all.  The first capacitors to go put further loading on those down the line until they are all blown.
