My brother just brought me(Saturday) a broken V7 monitor thet I am going to try and repair. The back light has burnt out and is supposed to be easily replaced or modified. I will disassemble amd remove the cathoid and balast and install a unit for a case. Ordering for the LCD will be impossible due to age(no spare parts) but research has shown you can salvage the LCD monitor with this operation. Its worth a try to get a $150-$200(US) monitor back for only $10-$20(US) worth of parts.
What can I say I like the challange and just have to order the right parts to do it...and get a free monitor to boot
