    Well, I found out that the dark hot spot would subside if i turned down the contrast and brightness, however the back light went out a day later. So, I had a old Dell Inspiron 4100 with a 14.1 LCD so i swaped them and now the problem is solved. Thank you.

Well the inveter powers the lamps in the LCD itself. If the lamps come on ,you don't need a new inverter but more than likely just a new LCD! hope this was helpful regards, babb

I just replaced bulb with new and after a day there is a dark spot on the screen
I have the same TV - I have a dark spot in the upper left hand corner. I have always thought this TV was dark. Be sure to get OME lamp. Cheaper ones are not worth it and can damage your TV more.
dlplampsource,com--Just a note if this ever happens to you. TV would not come on in the AM-Had no picture, but had sound. It was not the lamp, but the safety switch. It's blue and at the bottom of the lamp housing. As soon as I flipped it and replaced the back cover, the TV came on.

The back light is the whole of the screen, the screen is illuminated by a CCFL lamp (fluro tube) on the bottom of the screen. A inverter supplies high voltage to this CCFL lamp.
If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to identify the fault and possible fix :-

Hi

It could be a power supply problem or an inverter board problem or something internal having to do with the backlighting of the unit. remove the inverter, and look at the back side and you will see a hot spot, now on the other side of that hot spot, re-solder the service mounted components and that should take care of your problem.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

quote:"The spot was too hot to keep my finger on it while the rest of the screen was cool" You have a partial hardware failure on the lcd's internal circuitry (column and row drivers, stuff like that).
The short time it's working is about the overcurrent protection delay, it cutt's itself the Vcc, Vdd and control signals for limiting the fire hazard.

Possible dust in light engine? What ever you do, don't blow it out with the set on or hot. This easily equals instant death to bulb.
