LCD panels especially succumb to the same drying out of electrolytic
capacitors that plague the industry.

I am 3 for 4 in fixing LCD panels by replacing the obviously blown
electrolytic capacitors on the control or power board inside the LCD
panel.  Just look for any bulging cans, especially on the vent end, as
they are designed to vent out the magic smoke.
