So I went to test a new monitor I've had on the shelf for a few months.
Fired the monitor and pssssssst - C818 was venting. WTF?
Shut it down and looked over the chassis - sure enough, C818 (220uf 160v) is backwards. Huh? This monitor was working a year ago.
It WAS traded to a friend for a time, and then I got it back. I did NOT test it when I got it back, stoopid me. Anyway, water under the bridge now.
So now what? Replace the cap, obviously. But should I be worried about anything else?
This monitor had less than 5 minutes run time prior to this mishap. Grrr......
