I have a LCD monitor that has some ceramic caps that have become heat
sensitive but I can't tell what they are since they are SMD and have no
markings.. Does anyone have any idea how to find out what they are?

When there are no value markings, bout the only thing u can do is get a
schematic or find somebody who has one and is willing to share info.
Unfortunately, that isn't likely to yield the desired info. Most schematics
don't reveal values for components on items that are intended to be replaced
as an assembled unit (e.g., tv tuner modules.. and boards inside LCD
monitors). They may show a basic circuit or block diagram, but that's it.
The not-so-subtle hint from manufacturers is to buy the entire board or
module. They don't want their products repaired out of warranty; they want
to move new products. Don't expect that philosophy to change to the end
user's benefit anytime soon.
