I have a 30" Dell monitor that does not want to turn on.
If you have basic soldering skills or know anyone who does, monitors are
often easily fixed by just replacing bad capacitors. They can usually be
identified by a bulging top or leaking. Long ago I had a job repairing
monitors. Most monitor parts are very hardy, it is a capacitor most of
the time that has failed. Also, many monitors made from 1999-2007 had
"capacitor plague" due to problems with Taiwan-made capacitors. It's an
interesting tale of a stolen but incorrectly copied recipe for making
electrolyte for capacitors.

I have an old Viewsonic that seven years ago stopped working. I replaced
all the caps, and still today it is working fine.
