https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisync_monitor

The JC-4101P3A is perhaps the first true multisync monitor. The APC-H4311 appears to be exactly the same monitor but with a model number to match the NEC APC IV PowerMate 1 desktop system unit it was paired with. The caps lists below created from the APC-H4311 (240V) version with a manufacturing date of June 1987

Known Issues

Symptom or Problem Encountered

Causes

Electrolytic capacitor failures due to normal aging.

Solutions

Replace electrolytic capacitors

Disassembly Notes

Unplug power and data cables
Turn rotating part of base through 180 degrees and slide off
Remove fixed part of base by removing two screws
Remove four corner screws holding rear of case to front of monitor
Gently slide the rear of the case backwards. May need spludger to initially loosen.
Four screws to remove rear access panel shielding
Three screws, one on each chassis side panel and one near flyback, to remove top chassis/shielding
Two screws, one on each chassis side panel, to remove rear chassis/shileding
Undo screws holding joint switching regulator and interface board assembly and disconnect leads before sliding assembly upwards
