Thanks everyone for the info (and thanks for the post at badcaps as
well, PlainBill).

Have sourced a seller on eBay UK, so I'm good to try this one
component in the first instance. I got the monitor for nothing, so
it's worth a punt at least.

Cheers.
This circuit is a Royer oscillator, infamous for failures in Benq,
Dell, and HP monitors. Always replace both transistors if one is bad.
Also resolder the inverter transformer, and check for shorted diodes.
The poly capacitor is also an item of concern - make sure it's
properly soldered.

Good luck
