I've saved $100's of dollar repairing the power supplies in my LCD computer/TV screens for friends, my brother, and myself by replacing all of the caps. Fifteen bucks buys back the $200+ monitor and that is no contest - IMO. BTW - thanks to all who helped me what I'd learned here on the forum.
Not to mention all of the radios and other things I've been able to fix and restore.
The cheap Chinese crap were definitely built for obsolescence - it's true. But if they fail before their time - and they have - then it is time to buy some caps and learn something.
