Not to be a worry wart, but a long time ago we got a batch of monitors with a defective board. A capacitor overheated, melted some sort of glue on an adjacent component, which in turn dripped on a power supply component, shorted out and started a fire.
A couple of days later, it happened again… and we ended up getting all hands on deck to find those monitors.
Comments
Proceed with caution.

That would probably be electrolyte leaking. There are several reports/stories about bad quality capacitors unintentionally used in production.
