In the past, when the big-fat monitors were still been used, if
there's any problem with them, I can open them up and find and fix the
problem.

Nowadays, where the TFT LCD bunch is taking over, when a monitor fail,
it just dies. Can't be repaired, nada, zilch.

To me, the TFT LCD represents a step backwards. I have on my hand 5
TFT LCD monitors that lie belly up, and I just can't fix them ! All of
them have the same problem - the back-lighting fails, but since
everything is compressed into a compact module, there's no way to fix
it !

Darn ! !



Reading your reply and those from several others here really give me a
glimpse of hope. Perhaps I'm just to dim, all the LCD that die here
have the same problem - Backlights gone kaput !

When I try to replace the backlights, I found that they are glued
tightly with the whatever (tftlcd and lightguards) and how can I
replace anything if they are glued up like that.

That said, I'm still interesting in knowing how to actually replacing
the backlights. If there's any sites that have these kinds of
intructions, I'd very much like to know about it.

Thanks to you and to all !

Happy Easter !
