| 1404426 | 2015-07-10 01:04:00 | It seems like my monitor has bad capacitors - stays on for 2 seconds then goes off, won't turn on. Unplug it for 5 mins, and it might stay on for 2 seconds... It's 5 years old. How much would capacitor replacement cost? Worth it or should I just buy a new one? |

| 1404428 | 2015-07-10 02:51:00 | unless you do it yourself , not worth it. Unless it was a very high end, very large, expensive monitor A new 22" is about $200 a used, excellent condition ex-lease 22" monitor $125 . Those arnt even the cheapest prices. |

| 1404430 | 2015-07-10 04:38:00 | Element 14 are where I get them. Did a Viewsonic vx2233w today, total cost of caps ~$8, about 2 hours including dis-assembly and reassembly. As BM says, easy enough, provided they are what is at fault. Get a desoldering pump, they make the job a lot easier |

Yep, got mine at Jaycar's but if you've never soldered anything before things can be a bit tricky, especially un-soldering the old ones without shorting things or overheating other components . Getting some monitors apart can also cause you grief with little latches in the most obscure places . What breed and model is it? You need to start by pulling it apart before you need to worry about getting capacitors . ;) |

You need to start by pulling it apart before you need to worry about getting capacitors. ;) I was trying to disassemble a LG monitor a while ago, and it was almost impossible to pull it apart without breaking any of the plastic clips/latches! Maybe, they are not designed to be repaired! |

| 1404434 | 2015-07-11 02:20:00 | Yes to get the back off I think you have to start by taking the front off on LG Monitors. There are lots of helpful Video's on You Tube one being HERE (vhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNiFxZGPMoM) |
