Then reflow the solder joints and reflow pretty much any joints you feel like reflowing. When you handle the chassis roughly enough to do a cap kit it's pretty common to crack a couple of ancient solder joints in the process. No need to panic just yet - this is not a big deal yet. Pay particular attention to the joints on any pots on the board - reflow those no matter what they look like. Those crack most often.

Good tips. I'll follow that advice and let everyone know how I make out.
Level42:
Especially check C407
Spyridon:
Okay, finally got a chance to pull the monitor back out and look at it. I verified that all of the caps are installed with the correct orientation. What should I be looking for to determine if I have any cold solder joints?
Spyridon:
Anyone know the best place to send this to get fixed if I can't figure it out?
Spyridon:
Update on this. I sent the monitor board out for repair. Couldn't figure it out on my own. As soon as I get it back, I'll be able to finish this one up.
