Samsung 226BW flickering backlight

The flatscreen was bought in march 2007. Since one week the backlight is flickering for round about 40 secs after "cold boot" (switched off for at least 10 hrs)

Fortunately a decent solution is available on ytube!

I bought A Samsung 226W in jun 2007. It started flickering exactly the same as this a few weeks ago. And it itakes longer and longer before it jumps on

@razorlord2 I've replaced three caps since the flickering got worse and worse until is never stopped :(

I've had no experience with that kinda work at all but the hole process of replacing the caps was really easy. Overall the material just cost me about 1,50 EUR and the screen is working perfectly fine since one year now.

I've replaced two 25V 830µF with two 25V 1000µF and one 25V 330µF with same specs. :)

it's not the backlight, it's blown capacitors. It's a fairly straightforward fix. Look on YouTube for tutorials.
