Repair Gateway LCD Monitor

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

Anyone ever changed the backlight on a lcd monitor or how do you check to
see if that is the problem? My monitor just "snapped" and went out. Not
sure if it is the lamp, but thought I would check it out if there is some
way to do it.

Thanks
