it is not a real thick one...pretty slim I purhased it in 2009. Amazing how things do not last. It was like $600 plus brand new but I guess in 2009 dollars that is not alot...

shame how things do not last like they used to
If it's older fluorescent tubes provide the backlight. The common failure modes are power supply caps and the inverter board. I've successfully repaired LCD monitors via recapping. Now, whether or not it's worth the time given the current price of LCD TVs is a different matter. Did it show any symptoms before failure or did it simply not light up when you turned it on? I noticed on some LCD monitors that the picture can sometimes be seen even though it appears dark. BTW all the monitors I fixed were Samsungs and had Crapon caps. Good luck!
