Okay, it's been a while since I checked, but 'simultaneous' is the best one 
to go for. But at least the video circuits are fine and the mobo is (at 
least mostly) working.

Most likely option is the fluorescent or the driver circuit then. You might 
be able to see some pics on the screen by very bright reflected light. I 
think the instructions for swapping the screen light are in the manual you 
already have.

Heh. I have this vision:

'here, you ain't paid yur bills. We're sending the boys round to break your 
legs.'
'sorry, too late...'

(bad taste I know - hope it sorts itself out.)
