I need help finding parts (capacitors) for a monitor.

I have contacted HP. They say they can't help with this.
I need to find out what capacitors fit my HP 2509b monitor. My monitor is flickering and I would like to replace the bad capacitors. I would like to know what possible capacitors are inside of the monitor and order them bad or not. They aren't expensive so if I buy some I don't need that is fine. I would like to have them on hand when I take the monitor apart so I can replace the bad ones at the same time. I would rather do it that way verses taking the monitor apart to find out what capacitors I need and then ordering. I have had no luck searching the web for this information. Please let me know what to order so I can repair my monitor before it goes out completely. Thank you, Marshall Moore

Your best bet would be to take the monitor apart and find/locate the bad capacitors and get the ID# off of it and look it up that way. I here Radio Shack has a good inventory of such items.

You are probably right. That way I can go ahead and fix it the same day. I didn't want to take it apart and have to order the capacitors and wait for them. Good sound advice. Thank you.

I know it is only a monitor issue. It is flickering. With the monitor disconnected from pc it still flickers. It will stable out after a few seconds. I was only wondering if someone would know how or if I could find out what capacitors are inside without opening it up first. Capacitors are fairly inexpensive so I wanted to buy all possible compatible capacitors without having to physically inspect them first. In a nutshell I didn't want to have to take the monitor apart spot which ones are bad and then order the replacements. If I already had all possible capacitors on hand I could just fix the monitor in an hour or two, thus keeping the down time to a minimum.

I know whats wrong with the monitor. I just was hoping someone may know how I could find this information with research rather than with inspection. Thank you
