FOR "iversh"Hi, You stated "its two 220uF25V capacitors and one 47uF35V capacitor located on the backlight inverter chip covered by a plastic shield." for the X2GEN monitor problem. Can't find the 47uF35V capacitor... where is the backlight inverter chip?I have the 22" model X2GEN. Thanks, FrankPS: Anyone else?
I had the same problem with my 22" X2Gen, first the monitor started what looked like a random color temperature shift, ie the screen would switch between a yellowish and blueish tint, then it wouldn't turn on and the amber standy by light flashed on and off. I took it apart and replaced the 2 220uF25V capicators with 2 220uF35V caps I got at radio shack, part number 272-1029. Don't worry about the voltage mismatch I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, the voltage is the maximum the cap can withstand and has nothing to do with the voltage in the circuit. The caps are located on the board that the AC cord plugs directly into, it has a plastic (almost feels like paper) sheild, the caps are marked C812 and C813 on the circuit board. There was no 47uF35V cap that I could find, anyway replacing the two did the trick, all for under $3, I almost went out and bought a new monitor ;) Hope that helps.
This was the exact problem i had...thank you for such a straight forward solution...i went and purchased a new monitor and had this sitting around for a month ... now i have a duel monitor setup...thanks again!!!!... only cost me $2.80... i already had my soldering tools
Great fix. I got my 22" X2gen back on line with the replacement of C812 and C813 just as he said.
I knew these were bad because they were a little swollen. Capacitors sometimes swell when they go bad. If you find an electrolytic capacitor whose top is slightly bulged, or the sides for that matter, it's probably bad.

A few days back one of my X2Gen 22in LCD monitors suddenly stopped working with same issue of flashing yellow light but never actually turning on/off. I did exactly as ianllanasmentioned, by replacing the two capacitors (same radio shack part number as he noted). I am now back and working. Thank you so much. Total cost for repair was $11.48 (for two capacitors, 5 piece soldering tool kit and tax). I am hope others will find and try ianllanassolution. Thanks man. I no longer need to fork out another $400+ to get two new matching LCD monitors.
