Monitor troubles

[Mightycamels]

My monitor, one morning decided to only turn on for a second or 2 and then turn off. Tried it again and same thing. For that second or 2 its fine but then all black again.

I then spent some time faffing around setting my tv up to my computer instead and went on a google mission.

I decided that it could be bad caps.

So taking my monitor apart tonight (which was fun) I noticed 2 things

First (beware I know nothing about electronics) there is on it what I am going to call "jizz" on some parts of it (could be some sort of insulator I guess)

The second is that some of the caps have black on their tops. None of them are bulging

It's only a cheapo AOC 19" LCD. Model number M19W

I have a new benQ monitor on order but it's just sitting here broken until it arrives and I can't stop thinking if it only costs a few quid and a bit of soldering, why not give it ago

If anyone got any idea let me know

Cheers

Cheers mate, new monitor arriving tomorrow so I will bin it now!

On the plus side it's a good excuse to upgrade as it was only meant to be a tempory thing but ended but using it for 2 and a half years.
