Kalin,

Apologies for my late reply. Been a busy week.

I may very well take you up on your offer.  Funny thing is, in the last 
couple of days, the monitor has been behaving well, with only a few 
moments of "darkness."  Of course I know the problem didn't just go 
away. :-)

It sounds good.  I will search around for all the information I can 
find ahead of the meeting.  How quickly could you get the caps online 
from the time we order them?  Honestly, it would be fine to just do a 
diagnosis first and then replace the caps if necessary the following 
week, or perhaps much later (like in Dec) when I return from a somewhat 
lengthy trip out of Japan.

Cheers,
