This lcd display went through my hands, no questions really as the problem was a faulty ccfl tube which got replaced with one from another display I had around so it works now.
It's just that it was a bitch to open and put back together (involved 20+ minutes of using plyers to cut metal back so the ends of the new lamp would fit) so I figured it would be worth to at least post a picture of the power supply inside and the bad ccfl tube.
Elite caps everywhere, they look ok so I didn't bother changing them.. it's a "value" lcd monitor anyways with poor view angles and just 1366x768
audio input is a crappy dip package amp, didn't bother to remove the "heatsink" off it.... the vga board is probably the plain generic vga board, couldn't be bothered to remove the vga connector screws to pull it out.
In case it helps someone finding this thread through google, the panel worked with the display board and power supply from a 20" lg monitor I had with bad panel.

bad ccfl
sound amp and display board (back)
great success

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
