Then I took apart the dead monitor I've had on my desk for a few months since it stopped working. The internet pointed me at the power supply board and I found obviously bad caps with bulging tops there. I have a replacement cap kit coming, and the monitor is sitting in pieces on my desk, in a hopefully easy-to-reassemble pile.
I've successfully worked on and diagnosed a stereo receiver, a UPS, a CD changer, and a monitor today and am waiting for parts to finish off three of them (the UPS just needed new batteries). None of it required high levels of skill and problem-solving; just patience and references. But I'm pretty content with that.
