Bad backlight tube on Proview monitor

[Andre]

Hi group -

Anyone here got the dimensions for the backlight tubes used on the
Proview LCD monitor ? The backlight tube at the bottom has trouble
starting (needs several restarts when cold) .

Monitor is a Proview PT500, made in 1999.

Thanks .

Well that's the usual thing that goes wrong, I think his diagnosis is pretty
likely correct. The inverter could be having problems, might see if the
upper and lower tube inverters can be swapped to verify.
