Re: how much to fix bakclight on tv?

Whilst the backlights are usually part of the LCD screen they are fixable, although at a cost

you might find that your proble4m is power supply related .. a lot of LCD Monitors that come my way have this problem due to a power supply fault however if the set is a few years old it may well be backlight or inverter failure .. I don't know specifics about your particular TV so I really cannot say too much.

Some large LCD screens use several backlight CCFL tubes .. so I am guessing that it is more likely to be an inverter problem or a power supply problem rather than a tube problem .. tubes are a lot more difficult to get at and replace .. although having said that, there is a possibility that the inverter was designed to stop working if any backlight failed to prevent damage to the others .
