Hi everyone, my first post

Ok, I have a samsung ln32d450 that i'm working on for my daughter, it has a shorted upper ccfl that took out the power supply. I repaired the power supply, (a couple mosfets and a few smd resistors, zeners, etc.), but still have the bad ccfl. I want to replace all 4 tubes, so I don't have to dig through this thing again next month, that said, I've been trying to find the part #'s for the tubes. I've found the # labeled on the tube as 'B189W' which I haven't been able to cross anywhere in my normal haunts, ie, digikey, mouser, etc. , I've even tried...
