Yes, it is that IC. If you look at the schematics at page 3 and 4 in the data sheet, you see the capacitor connected between pin 3 and 6.

That's great! Thanks to both of you.

Ha, it works! It's alive!
It was 100uF 50V, which I didn't have so I've placed 100uF 350V,
a really big one Smile

Thank you all once again!

I usually go with no more than double the original.

Now I have another problem with the same monitor:

(that's my finger at 0:23 on the right)

The line is either at that position or close to the bottom,
but can also appear anywhere in between.

Is the fix as simple as replacing a cap?

hitting the monitor with my hand does not help Very Happy
