Latitude D610 - Monitor error

Today, when I opened my laptop and the monitor came on for about 10 seconds then shut off.  If I hold a flashlight up to the screen, I can still see the things I was looking at before it went blank, which means that it's not off..  It's like a light bulb went out or something.

Anyway, anyone know what the issue is here?


Thanks in advance.

It's either the inverter (backlight power supply - small board behind the screen) or the backlight itself.  Try the inverter first  - remove the board and look for a replacement by the part number on it.  If that doesn't work, replace the screen.
