On pretty old sets--especially from a smokers house--the backlight and diffuser becomes dull and yellow/faded.
--The tubes themselves also start to show more yellow light when very old....

Ive seen a couple of LCD like this, and changed the backlight on one--the difference is staggering!

Hi Alastair,

Thanks for the reply. As I remember it turned yellow in just a day. It is working fine on the previous night and the next day when i turn on...the picture becomes yellowish/dark.
So is the culprit is the backlight module?

BTW, no smoker here..hehehe..

Thanks.
