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.<br>

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...)<br>
<br>
Would anyone be interested in this for tinkering with it?<br>
