Thanks to this stupid thing called a "weekend" I can't place necessary orders for the power supply's bridge rectifier. Instead I had to risk my life removing the monitor's circuit board so that I could replace its capacitors. There are lots of warnings about getting shocked with 20,000 volts and flying backwards through a brick wall, so I had to be extra careful when discharging the monitor. But nothing impressive happened, this monitor is old enough where there was no charge left. I could've dischared it by licking the anode.
Here is the monitor's circuit board after removing it:
I didn't test the monitor after installing all the new blue capacitors. Since the monitor is out of the cabinet, I'll take this chance to remove everything from the cabinet to prepare it for sanding and painting. Pictures of that will come in the next post.
