**Punisher** · 09-30-2005, 11:55 AM

Where can i pick up a new CCFL for an 8" VGA Touch Screen??

Try lcdpart.com. They don't have an 8" CCFL listed but hopefully the guys there could lead you to the right direction.

I've purchased a CCFL for a 14" monitor from these guys for $20 shipped. It was promptly shipped and has been working well.

Good luck.

I tried.. they only have straight CCFL's.. the one in my screen is a U shape.. They told me they didn't have anything like that and no idea where I should go

The guys in this forum that are doing backlight upgrade might be able to help you with this. PM them.

Yea.. I am at a loss for what to do..

It's disgusting that a stupid little thing like the cold cathode goes out and it's basically like your whole screen is junk because no one sells em.

This guy on ebay (link) sells bare 8" LCD kit. Maybe he can help you?

Thanks for the help Edik. I sent him an e-mail through ebay.

I got this 6" CCFL out of the acrylic tube (the same type of CCFL you would use in a computer case.. etc..) I have it in the housing of the lilliput with that plastic light .. refactor? I guess is what you would call that thing.. Anyway it looks good so far.. I haven't actually put it all back together yet.. I still need to see if the inverter on the lilliput will drive this CCFL or not.. I had another one of these 6" CCFL's.. however it got stepped on today

I could just order more.. or maybe 2x 4" ones would work better.. Anywho, thanks for the help guys.. if anyone has ANY INFO on the Lilliputs Inverter output I would greatly appreciate it!!
