[SGVLUG] "it's not dead YET" - LCD display available...

[Emerson, Tom (*IC)]

Well, it turns out they've already bought a new display, but thanks for the pointer.

The downside is that this is a "Hyundai" monitor, so searching for "replacement parts" often returns results for automotive parts as well... :(

I did see find one site (by proxy) called "www.lcdparts.net", which looks like it might have what would be needed, but the site is a little difficult to use without the monitor right in front of me (references the mfr part number, not the commonly known name/model of the monitor...)

I've had this happen with a 19" Viewsonic LCD.  The replacement "flourescent bulbs" were only about $20 and they were actually pretty easy to change.  Viewsonic's warehouse is in City of Industry so I just picked them up at willcall.  Do a little research on the brand & model.  You might be able to fix it for cheaper than you think.

My mom's LCD "mostly died" recently -- the LCD itself still works, but the fluorescent "backlight" died -- I don't know of any shops that will actually repair/replace that part (if it is even available to be replaced) and even then, I suspect the cost of repair exceeds the cost of a new unit (oh, the joys of being green...)

Would anyone be interested in this for tinkering with it?
