The "bulb" is called a backlight. All LCD screens have one... Even LCD TV's do

This is still a valid option!

I had the very same problem on my comp...

So i tried unplugging the sreen from my graphics card and taking the graphics card out.

Then i plugged it in to the video on the MotherBoard, if this works then ure video card may be toast...as was mine.

Quite possibly, but you bumped it by just asking

Also it's still available on google, and since there was no resolution I felt it wouldn't hurt to throw some feedback down for others.

You bumped it first... Would posting your findings in a new thread be more valuable?
