Have you tried the wiki (tab at top of the page)

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

That's for the bulb, not the entire LCD strip.

I've not heard of a replacement for a faulty LCD, unfortunately :(

You should be able to pick up a replacement unit on here or ebay for not too much dough.

Can't replace the LCD mate, I tried and ended up replacing the whole unit with a good used one!
