E171fpb makes creaking noise

I have a  E171fpb from when I bought it with my desktop back in 2003. Its been working great, however I started to notice something. When it is on, every now and then there is a sort of popping noise from the back vents. It usually happens when I am using the computer. I sprayed some air into the vents and such to see if it makes it go away. I am also considering opening the back cover and spraying the internal components.


Is this something to due with the internal PSU, or is the monitor gradually failing?

If you are going to open it up, check the caps in the power area for any bulging or leakage. You may want to replace them is you have good iron skills
