TSGL: LCD monitor turns black - update

[gcc]

Hi all.  Just to let you know the outcome of my borrowing a working monitor 
from my brother-in-law to see if it too would go blank periodically.  This 
past Thursday he brought me a CRT type monitor; I hooked it up and it has 
been working perfectly.  In the mean time I took my LCD monitor apart to 
take a look at the light up lamp(s)  I Didn't see any lamps.  Basically 
there are two parts inside (one is square-shaped (about 3x3 in.) and the 
other is rectangular (about 3x 1½) .  The shield come off easily on the 
rectangle (3x1½) No bulb there, just electronic stuff on a little board. 
The square unit, which has the thick cord running into it, looks to be a 
pain to take apart.  I would think that a bulb would have been made easily 
accessible... but I suppose it has to be there, no?
