P.S. Does anyone have a recommendation for what to do with the old panel?
I believe that would be an IFS panel. It's worth replacing the
backlight (and I'm hoping you checked that a failing inverter board
wasn't the problem first).
That screen is valuable and if the only thing wrong is the backlight
went out, I would sell it.
If you decide to dispose if it, I'll pay the packaging & post to send it
to me in New Zealand, and replace the CFL tube myself.
Cheers,
