I got a nice 7000 monitor. It worked great on install, but when I went to adjust the horizontal position it started to crackle and go in and out of shutdown with the screen looking like it would collapse to a vertical line in the center. Eventually it wouldn't come back on. I took out the chassis and re-soldered a ton of areas. The caps on it look like they were redone, and I took a few off and checked and all were good. I still replaced those I took off though. The board was ak, but it may have been coincidence, but when I wiggled the aluminum heatsink on the right side (when looking from the back) it started doing it again. So I reflowed all that area. Now the monitor seems to be ok. I have run it for a long time without the problem. But when checking around afterwards wiggling stuff to see if it was a short somewhere causing the issue, I noticed that the 47uf cap at c37 (I think thats the location) is warm to the touch on the top.
I don't poke around monitors much once they are running, so I don't know is this is normal or not? All others seem cold or room temp to the touch.
