I have uploaded more images at the top of this post, from the other side of the cards, please let me know if you need something specific.
Thanks man!
We need a picture of your panel board. Follow this cable in red and take a picture of that board. It might be behind a metal shield. As I mentioned, it will a long board at the top of the lcd running the entire length of the monitor.
On this panel board might be a SMD fuse which might be marked F1. You will need a multimeter to see if it is good or bad. With power off and lcd unplugged, a good fuse should measure less than 1.0 ohms.
If you don't have a multimeter and don't ever plan to repair any more electronics in the future, then borrow one from a friend. If you want to buy one, I don't know your local market, so you probably want to get something off ebay that provides free shipping? This usually implies buying something from Chinese vendor as they seem to ship worldwide. What is your budget in USA dollars?
If you have a local electronics store that sells multimeters and they have a website, post the URL and I can take a look.
If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.
We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

bottom pic 4645 its the orange component om the bottom right of the multi coloured cable
That is one fuse - Think retiredcaps was meaning one at the other end of the lvds cable ie probably attached to the panel and probably behind a metal frame.
@ noisepc
Unfortunately your pictures are too blurry for us to see the details. Did you look at them on screen to see what they look like?
Having said that in the pic attached I think the white item in the yellow box is a fuse - what I am saying about the quality of the pictures is that if it had been one of the items in the pink box we couldnt see it.
None of these boards are the one retired caps asked for see above.
We cant see the board but yes you need to go in further.
Here is an interesting video - set similar to yours - will help with the part names http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-7-6Yb0Oc
He doesnt go in far enough but there is a board under the metal plate
in the following picture taken from the video. This is the other end of the cable
shown in the red box in retiredcaps picture.
Hurrah! that's the one but the picture is no good - did you look at it since you posted it?
I can barely make out the main chip let alone a fuse that will be a few millimeters across.
Take pic in 3 sections overlapping - must be well lit and in focus so it can be enlarged.
Fuse F1 is on that tcon (2nd pic). You need a multimeter to see if it is good or bad.

Ok, guys, I bought the multimeter but I was only able to get UT33C not D. Now what should I do? If someone has time to guide thru this via chat would be great! my msn address is nicolaslorda@hotmail.com
1) Never use continuity to test a fuse, always use resistance. A good fuse should measure less than 1.0 ohms. Resistance is always tested with power off and device unplugged from the wall outlet.
2) Put your multimeter on 200 ohms.
3) Put your red probe on one side of F1. Put your black on the other side of F1.
4) If the multimeter is showing "1" on the left hand side on the screen (like it does when the probes aren't touching), that tells you that the fuse is greater than 200 ohms. This means the fuse is blown or bad.
Don't confuse "1" on the left hand side of this display with 1.0 on the right hand side. The first means out of range and the second means 1.0 unit of your measurement.
