CCFL replacement?

Hello everyone. I have a RCA L32HD32D tv that has sound, but no picture. The tv will power up and a message "Please Wait" will appear for a few seconds, then the screen goes dark. I still have sound, but no picture.
Thought I had a bad video board, so I replaced that and still had the same problem.

I noticed that with the tv turned on, I noticed there was no "glow" from the backlight. It would only come on long enought to display the "Please Wait" message then shut off. I could take a bright flashlight and put it up to the screen and make out a faint picture. So I replaced the power/inverter board, and still had the same problem.

Apon further inspection, I realized one of the CCFL tubes was not working properly. It looks as thought the CCFL's are installed in what appears to be a "loop", kinda like a string of Christmas lights.

So, would 1 of the CCFL's cause my problem? If so..what size are they? I can get new ones and replace them, but do not know what size to get.
