my uncle gave me his mag 17 inch lcd because it stopped working..he said he was told it is the backlight(im not to sure of his source of information)..anyway im curious if anyone knows of a good website to find parts for these things..the symtoms it has is the power does come on but flashes the image on the screen for about 1 second and goes away while the green power light stays on..it was manufactured in march of 2003 seems kinda new to have a bulb blow out..any suggestions?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Try shining a light on it and see if you can see an image, if there is no image at all on the screen i'd say it's something else.
I am confident this would be a good test because:
On my laptop when I am outside in the sun I can still see the screen (doesn't look that nice but can still see it) and the image displayed appears to be uneffected by the brightness of the backlight. You should be able to at least see something if you shine a light on the screen.

Double check with Mag and see if it is still under warantee. A lot of those came with 3 years parts and labor including the back light. At worst they might have a good exchange program too.
Just a thought
