So I was 'gifted' a deadish AMW display from work. After examining it, all the caps look like they're in decent shape. No leakage or bulging. It powers on and it will show a clean display momentarily as in about 2 seconds. Then the displays blanks out. If I use the power button, power it off and power it back on immediately, it will show a clean display again for about 2 seconds again and then 'die'. (Clean display meaning an actual display of a Windows desktop).
I'm wondering if the backlight is bad. A quick look at Digi-Key shows some universal backlight replacement pieces and I wonder if anyone here has some experience with them and how it went.
EDIT: I saw the pinned post about 2 secs to black and am going through them. I just figured I'd cut to the chase in the meantime about the backlights.
Also: pix comin
EDIT 2 : for some reason, I can't get pix up even after I've resized them...
