Buy a new monitor?

TFT's really arent worth fixing for the hassle.

and tft's are very dangerous. So yea I would not open it up unless you are not worried about getting electrocuted.

Have u tried to hold up a flashlight against the screen? As H-Sauce said, its pretty dangerous, but if u see stuff with when flashlight is held up against it, that only means that the CCFL lights are dead and can be replaced for about 20-30$ depending on the most reputable site you go to.

Why are these monitors so dangerous to take apart? Is this a crappy brand I have never even heard of it.

The Capacitors can store a lethal amount of electricity.

You can only get electrocuted if your taking the monitor apart and it is still plugged in. Wait 5 minutes before taking apart a monitor. (I got zapped before)
