or is it starting to lose the light?

I've had it for a few years now and just recently it has started the day off with intense flickering. The past couple days it has failed to even stop flickering. I've decided that I want to try and fix it. From what I've read online this seems to require changing a few caps. Anyone have any experience with this?

The 226 is my secondary display but I really enjoy my dual monitors. I can't justify replacing it because I don't NEED two monitors, it's just really helpful.
 
I've got the same monitor and the same issue with it. Surprisingly it's really common and a relatively quick fix. I've ordered my capacitors from http://www.digikey.com/?curr=USD Wednesday night for about $12.00 with shipping and I doubled the order so I have spares in case of screw up. They were the first site I came across on Google with all in stock and reasonably priced. I should receive them Monday-Tuesday.

Here's the list of the caps with the part numbers that I found on another website. I didn't bother ordering the 150uF, 450v (huge one) since it isn't bulging, others were though. I also ordered mostly Panasonic ones but one was out of stock so I just ordered what was in stock. Take note of the height of them too as the backplate has to fit back on there.

C107 47uF, 50v, 105 °C, 5mm D x 10mm H
C112 330uF, 25v, 105 °C, 10mm D x 15mm H
C110 820uF, 25v, 105 °C, 10mm D x 20mm H
C111 820uF, 25v, 105 °C, 10mm D x 20mm H
C301 680uF, 25v, 105 °C, 10mm D x 17mm H
C302 680uF, 25v, 105 °C, 10mm D x 17mm H

I've done electronic repair before so I'm confident doing it myself. However, I looked on Ebay after I ordered and found boards for sale but you have to know the revision number too. They also have kits (packs of caps) for sale but the ones I saw listed might be inferior capacitors.

I can let you know how it goes but if I were you, I'd just order them and handle it yourself.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I'd also need to pick up a soldering iron to do this job and I haven't used a soldering iron since I was in the 7th grade.
