I'll post this link again as it's a lifesaver with info related to bad caps. on motherboards, flatscreen monitors, flatscreen tv's, power supplies etc.
They have a forum with tons of info on different models, and also have a store that sells the specific caps. in singles and kits to do your own repairs.
There is a noise rating on the caps. and if you happen to buy the cheapest around you may increase the noise factor without knowing it. This place will explain all that.

Snodley and I hauled out a dozen flatscreens from a computer store and within a 2 weeks we had 4 up and running and sold using Badcaps info.
