this has become a big cause of failure in many lcd's.
not uncommon to replace every one of them in a unit.
samsung and viewsonic seem to be the worst offenders.
i get a ton of industrial displays in that died of this issue.
here is one example.most folks would have a heart attack when told the cost to replace this unit.
