This is an easy fix however if you do not know about capacitors and the dangers of them then do not do it yourself unless you read up.

On most monitors and TVs if you touch the cappie and it goes on you are in for one HELL OF A JOLT. Sometimes this can kill however 5 out of 10 times you just go numb in half your body. If you use both hands and the cap discharges on you then ALL the enegry WILL go through your HEART and you could very well die.

Just be careful. It's a simple job but just be careful.

I think the capacitors used in LCD's are likely to be a lot smaller than the ones in CRT's. I know that the insides of a CRT stay dangerous for hours/days after they were last switched on, but I don't think LCD's are like that. But, I'm not an expert on such things, so take my words with a pinch of bullsh*t and don't blame me if you get fried.
