I have a Dell E173FPC monitor which I think I can probebly fix (by

Can anybody let me into the secret 9and if you have replaced the backlight
on this monitor, give me some tips on that too.

Thanks




Here is a link to a site with the disassembly instructions and pictures
for the E172 which is simular to your E173.

It looks like there are 4 lamps and most likely you have a bad power /
inverter board not lamps.

I hope this is of some help to you.
