FINALLY!! I verified that the LCD screen is validly changing pixels,
all I need is the backlight.

Measure voltage. If the tube is OFF, is that the firing voltage?
trying to get the tube to arc? sounds about right. 400 to 600 Vac
firing voltage then goes down to the 20V 1A range.

Would you verify that there is NO polarity to the fluorescent tubes
supply?
