Can flickering LCD Monitor Sharp LL-172G-B be repaired?

Can flickering LCD Monitor Sharp LL-172G-B be repaired? High quality 17" LCD monitor, solidly built with cast aluminum height-adjustable stand. Has worked well for years, but just started flickering exactly like a typical fluorescent bulb at the end of its life. Probably the backlight fluorescent tube, but could be its power supply.

"Page 25 of the manual states that the fluorescent tubes have a limited lifespan: http://www.fixya.com/support/p396228-sha...

I just (in the last hour) tore apart an LCD that a user complained was flickering, then eventually died outright. I opened it expecting to see bulging capacitors and once I got to the power supply board I saw...... Bulging capacitors. I'd open that thing up and see what's going on on the high-voltage side, it's extremely likely that the problem can be fixed with under $10 worth of capacitors.
