Just a 30cent bulb but I can't figure out how to get to it.

Not a 30 cent bulb. It's most likely a tiny fluorescent bulb or two, much thinner than a pencil that may be integrated into the screen. About $10 CCFL Backlight|LCDPARTS.net if you can figure out which bulb will fit and if you can get to it.

CatFan I got in there and got the circuit board loose but could not get the flat strip with all the copper wires lose from it's plug in the board. Can get to the screen portion but it is encased in a metal cover that I could not figure out how to get apart. The bulb or bulb's are inside that. Did not want to tear it up so just put back together and that's why I was trying to find some place that might repair them. Thanks for the link.
