Default LCD Monitor failure modes ?

HI Folks
I have a 'no-name' LCD monitor, it used to be on this PC but was
replaced by a newer 'widescreen' monitor a couple of weeks ago.
Original monitor was intended to replace the ageing CRT monitor on the
PC in the studio (whose screen is getting dimmer & dimmer.....!)

So - LCD monitor sat on the office floor for a week or so (waiting for
round tuits), and, yesterday, made its way out to the studio.
Plugged it in - powered it up - indicator leds work but no picture!
Very brief flash of an image when first powered up, but nothing after -
also no on-screen display.....

Took it apart, jiggled all the internal plugs / sockets (it has one
logic board and another that looks as if it drives the illumination -
couple of transformers and dire warnings about high voltage g) - but
no joy...

Now it's probably BER (beyond economic repair) - but, ever-hopeful...
I thought I'd ask here...

I'm guessing that the most likely failure is of 'whatever' illuminates
the screen - but I'm guessing that this is likely to be a proprietary
part rather than anything you could get a replacement for..
and, since a replacement is under €100.... but I'm loath to chuck the
thing away for the cost of a possible cheap repair.

Anybody fixed one of these and can offer suggestions ?

Thanks
Adrian
