i've had the exact same problem. i got a good drive of the same exact model and swapped out the motherboards of the drives. it works great now! and it was a lot easier than trying to get the firmware off haha

turns out is wasn't the inverter! =D I replaced the backlights and it's working 100%

I think its one or two of the bulbs that are bad. I hooked them back up to the inverter and turned them on. One set of two glows bright white while the other glows a pinkish tint before everything turns off.

found this on the datasheet (FLC43XWC8V)

This LCD module has 4 lamps. Each 2 lamps are placed at upper and lower side of the
display.
2 lamps are connected in parallel.

hm

Also, there are 4 ccfl's, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. Since they all go out, are they wired in series and if one goes bad do they all go out?

or does this mean it is the inverter?

I bought a broken Westinghouse 17w7 monitor off of ebay.

I have already taken the monitor apart and took out ...
