Default flatscreen monitor

This is in respect to a hp vs17c computer monitor.

It broke. Nothing.

4 years later I tore it apart and replaced 3 popped capacitors on the power
supply board.

Then it worked, but for only about 10 seconds. Then it flickers and goes
dead again.

The old capacitors were 10v 1000uf. The new ones I put in were 35v 1000uf.
Would that make any difference?

There is one other unpopped capacitor in the vicinity. I haven't replaced
it yet, but I can't figure anything else out. Maybe I am going to have to
buy a whole new power supply board?
