[svlug] blinking lcd

I have an AMW 19" LCD monitor model F100B that comes on and blinks off 
in a few seconds.  With persistence, turning it on and off, it stays on 
but it's taking longer and longer.

Googling tells me that either the CCFL bulbs or (most likely) the 
inverter board needs replacing.

Anybody know a good local SV source for the parts and/or a repair shop?  
I think $75 is all it's worth to fix it for another system.

Frys.com (not available in stores) has a "Viewsonic 20" Widescreen LCD 
Flat Panel Monitor (VA2012WB) 1680x1050 Resolution/8ms response/600:1 
Contrast Ratio" for $179.99". 

I've ordered that as a replacement but still want to fix the AMW.  Any 
help or suggestions appreciated.
