content: shine a bright lamp on the lcd after the image has gone, can you still make out the image in the lcd ? if yes it's just the ccfl inverter that's bustedworst case is it's the little transformer that's fried but it's very likely not that, probably one of the cheap, easy to replace other parts on the inverter board

content: In a pinch you can turn a can of compressed air upside down, "liquid" will come out, which is the propellant for the can, it will evaporate nearly instantly and will bring most anything down past the freezing point.For a spectacular display, shoot the stream onto a running tap of hot water. I recommend not breathing it as much as possibleGood luckMatthew

content: I concur with K, the symptoms are very suggestive of a PSU problem. Cooling down the Mosfets may cause them to function normally for a time.

content: HelloMaybe the back of the transistor was short circuited to GND when it was not supposed to be. Congratulations on your fixed LCD!!By the way... on the monitor on the right... I know what movie you're watching... it's Back to the Future II. It's the part when they lock Marty in the car trunk and the musicians are trying to lock him outhttp://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z24/hitachi8/8.jpg
