Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP Monitor Help!

[ABuNeNe]

Hi I'm using this monitor for a number of years and recently it suddenly goes into blank screen.

Found a inverter, Slm-240d7 Rev 0.2, and tried to do a replacement but having a hard time connecting the white connectors (top) to the bottom (are these CCFL?) as seen in the picture below. Any idea?

The black plack plastic piece which those lamp sockets are attached to should never be removed form the chassis some of the lamp may have been damaged now, now you need to disassemble the LCD panel, put the black lamp socket assembly back in place and then clip the CCFL back to each lamp socket carefully. The inverter board has fingers that fit ito the black lamp socket assembly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-2408WF.../122760356177?
BTW, 7 CCFL's ends are blackened which means the lamps are worn out.

Thanks for your reply, budm.

Will give up reviving this monitor then.
