I had a Samsung Syncmaster 226bw 22" LCD monitor for years and it started flickering and going black. I've since upgraded to a different 24" monitor, but kept the Samsung after reading about the filter capacitors on the board going bad.
I popped off the back and sure enough several are bulging outward. I haven't touched it in over a year and was wondering if anyone ever removed old/soldered new caps onto their monitor's board? It's been many many years since I last soldered and unsure if I want to attempt it. It would be a shame to get rid of it just because of this and any lack of confidence in fixing it myself.
Would anyone have an idea where I could take it to get repaired? Just a computer repair shop? The Geek Squad?
