It definitely looks like the two CCFLs are in series. Give it a try and see if any one CCFL will light up.

you were right on the money plainbill.

plugging in one ccfl plug at a time, i could see a glow about 1/3 of the way across the diffusers(lcd removed) except one plug did nothing. It was in the top ccfls, the one with the pink/wht wires. I pulled the diffusers and stuff down, the ccfl in question is literally fried, about 2mm missing, wire is fried going into the lamp, hell even the main diffuser got a little crispy in one spot..

Now comes the fun part of trying to find these. It needs all four, theyre pretty rough looking. I cant believe the picture was not pink looking.

Replacement CCFLs are easy - CCFLWarehouse or their eBay store, Plasmo Industries are a good source. Determining the diameter and length is a little more difficult. They aren't cheap, but a 26" monitor is worth it.

we will have to see what they want to do. I think i may fix this for myself if they tell me to toss it.

the model is misleading by the way, its actually a 22" monitor.
