A college of mine told me that 95% of monitors going okey when a man replaces all of electrolyte capacitors? How much do you think that`s true?

If i begin to check element by element is there a way to skip checking of all the elements? For example "at first you have to check all the transistors on the boards" or other?

Thanks in advance

I don't know, but if I was sure the problem was hardware within the monitor, I'd just replace it.

If you see no obvious damage, then you will either have to guess and start swapping parts, or use schematics and actual test equipment. Anyone will a little tech skill can swap parts, the most you lose is some money if you guess wrong. Beyond that, you need (or should have) training.

As noted above, I replace not repair. It's not a skill issue for me. It's a matter of cost. Even when parts are what some people consider "cheap" (ie: $25-75), that's up to at least 1/2 the cost of a new monitor. In most cases, that's even a an upgrade (ie: larger, better quality, and has a warranty). And that's not including the cost of my time.
