My screen turns on for about a second, and then turns itself back off.
I've used a flashlight on it, and I could still make out the window shapes, so I gathered that it is a backlight problem.
I've opened it up, looked at the board, and all the capacitors appear to be ok (flat at the top).
I've read that I might need to replace the inverter board, but I couldn't really figure out what that is.
I'd really appreciate any help at this point.
