In this case, no test equipment was needed - the pictures on the
linked page show the electrolytics have swollen ends. This was
probably a "save 2 cents" design-related failure, where the capacitors
are running right at their 16 volt rating. Replacing them (with 35V
caps) restored "like new" operation.

The power supply has failed, or there is a short on one of the boards
loading the supply. These types of monitors and TV sets are serviced
by board swapping. If you have a lot of service experience and the
test gear, if the problem is simple you may be able to find it with
conventional troubleshooting.
