I was about to suggest that as well (I am a member)...
We have regular meetings every Tuesday from 19:30 in Shibuya, across
from the Apple store (apparently many people know that "landmark"):

If you are happy lugging your LCD around (get laptop&cables to be on
the safe side), we can have a look at it on 23rd. Coming a bit early
should be better to secure some good working space (I will probably be
there after 18:00).
Try to locate and download any information on the monitor beforehand
such as service/repair manuals, datasheets, how-to-open etc. And as
others suggested we might be dealing with badcaps, if you can find
what values we'll need we can get them on-line beforehand (we have
only a _very_ limited supply of parts at THS, mostly leftovers from
other projects); otherwise we'll just open it, diagnose it and next
week replace the caps, if that was the problem in the first place.

How does this sound to you?
