Hello,

My LCD stopped working a while ago and I haven't been able to figure
out what exactly failed on it.
This is what it does:
The fault you are describing is normaly from a bad inverter board, and
or the lamps are going bad. Normaly the inverter board and the lamps
are changed all together at the same time.

Some LCD panels are not serviceable, while some models are. You would
have to find out the type of lamps and inverter that is required for
your particular model, and then shop around to get them.

The best way to have the parts, is to contact the manufacture service
rep for your monitor and see if they will sell the parts to you.
Normaly, the manufactures will not sell service type parts to the end
user. In this case, you can find out what they will charge you to
service the monitor themselves. At least, if they service it for you,
there will be some type of warranty for the work done.

Considering that the new LCD monitors coming out are far improved, it
may be worth to buy a new one. I am seeing them with 2000:1 contrast
ratios, with speeds as fast as 2 ms. The viewing angels, and accuracy
of colour tracking are also far improved. The prices have also dropped
by a very high percentage.

1) I turn it on, it displays the signal/picture
2) Several seconds later it fades out with a green tint and then goes
black.
3) I need to unplug it and leave it for about a minute before I can
turn it on again.

Every time I turn it on in this state, it stays on for less and less
time. I guessed that maybe the CCFL is dead, but don't they usually
last a long time?

I have taken it apart and I can't see anything that is obviously burnt
out/loose/ or just plain wrong.

Any clue as to what this might be? Or what I should replace?
