Thanks, Paul. The closest take-apart instructions with pictures I found are here - <http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum3.html>, and for the display - <http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum9.html>.
I followed them to the end, i.e. so no mention of the cold cathode or power supply. What should the voltage be (seeing as how the power is off; I am an amateur)? My main concern is the cables so that if I get a replacement screen, it will work 'out of the box'. So far, I 'see' no damage with regards to cables. And probably the screen is not expensive compared to the cold cathode lamp and/or lamp power supply?
