Thanks guys for the help. Do you know what kind of capacitors these are? I am going to order one off mouser.com but don't know the proper name of them. Or would any capacitor at those specs work. I was doing a little research on google, and I think they are called film capacitors, but not sure. Thanks in advance.
Here is a picture of my actual capacitor. Not sure if its .33 or just 33. **broken link removed**
Yeah, it's a film cap. Mylar or polypropylene most likely. If in doubt, use polypropylene. With a 250V rating and in an LCD power supply that's probably what it is b/c of polypropylene's self-healing qualities.
Definitely a 0.33µF or 330 nF capacitor. The "J" means a +/- 5 % tolerance capacitor (Components marked witah a "K" are 10 %, "M" devices are 20 % and "Z", +80 % -20 % devices).
And it looks like a polyester capacitor, definitively plastic. Personally, i call those bugs "Telco capacitors" because they are often found in telephone circuits. (fractional to a few uF at 250 volts).
Just to let you guys know, got my parts in today. Installed them, and the lcd is back up and running. Ended up replacing the capacitor and 2 transistors. Again, thanks for all the help.

Hopfully, I am not trying to hyjack somebodies thread but, a simple related question.
What Value does a commanly found Capacitor in CFL, Marked : 2A224K : signify ?
They are mostly green in colour and guess they are Matallized Polyester Film Capacitor.
