Found a capacitor fix that saved me 3 hours on a Dell monitor

I had this Dell U2412M that kept flickering after 10 minutes of use. Tried replacing the power board first but that didn't help. Turned out it was a single bulging 1000uF 25V cap on the logic board near the ribbon cable. Now I check those first and it's cut my repair time way down for that model. Has anyone else run into this issue with the older Dell U-series monitors?

My 68 year old eyes have seen more bulging caps than my waistline.

Wait, isn't that just bad design though regardless of age?
