    Thanks, Drew. I was really hoping it was the inverter. Everything I read and the symptoms I had pointed straight to it

    I just broke down and ordered a new screen. UPS 3 day, so probably won't get here until Monday since it was ordered just before 4:00 pm.

    Much cheaper to change the bulbs, but, seems like a lot goes into it. And, if it's the screen anyway, might as well just change it out now.

    After I install the new screen, and it works I'll take apart the old one and see just how hard it is to change the bulbs. I'd rather practice on an 'extra' screen

    I hate computers

    The screen was supposed to be here tomorrow. But, while tracking the UPS shippent... It apparently went from Canada, to Seattle, WA, to freaking Louisville, Kentucky!

    So, it's got to come back this way and the rescheduled delivery date is 09/22/2010 now


    I am fairly certain it will fix my problem though. Everything else is working fine. Just no back light.

    Looks like UPS got it together and somehow manged to get it delivered today

    New screen installed and all is good

    I ended up with a new inverter that I didn't need, but, overall, it took just two steps to fix the problem and cost me under $160
