Here's an update, and another thanks to all here.
I opened up the 3 bad monitors and replaced all the capacitors of a certain style, several on each board were showing bulges.
I even found a very bad one once I removed it on 2 of the 3.
I have ALL 3 working !!!!!!!!!!!!!
9 bucks in parts, 8.50 shipping ( Arrgh), and a couple of hours of time.
Actually the desoldering and putting them back together was the worst part.
And I have enough parts to fix another one or 2.
Did end up with 3 screws leftover, I know where 2 go, I noticed them after I had gotten them partially back together. Not bad considering the 15 or 20 screws in each.
Since the board and bracket they go to had 4 screws holding them in place I figured missing the 4th wasn't a real issue.
BUT THEY ALL WORK NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again to the guys that mentioned they fixed theirs and whoever named JameCo.
Maybe not really worth the time and effort at prices of new ones, but very rewarding.
