Yes, I suspect the backlight. If you do decide to
change it yourself, first remove it to check the size
and part# but mainly to see if its soldered or
clipped. I researched this extensively, so use a
dust-free space before taking apart the screen (and
when installing), otherwise the new backlight and the
labour will be largely a waste.
Backlights are not expensive over here in N.A.
I haven't tried yet to do this to a Wallstreet screen,
largely because of one person's bad experience (either
he bought a used backlight and/or replaced it in a
dusty environment).
If you have plant incubators, maybe that could be a
help. Mine is a long term project!
