Been there, done that--and even depopulated the inverter section on one PCB (badly designed--capacitors hot-glued to heatsinks, that sort of thing) and replaced it with a cheap "universal" CFL inverter. Still works fine. Strangely, I don't see nearly as many junked LCD displays today as I did 5 years ago for some reason. --Chuck
