*Update* I finally got the CCFl problem fixed in my RCA L32HD32D. I found replacement bulbs online for around $20 a piece. So since I needed 4, would have run me $80. I even found some LED replacement kits for $15 a piece. But they were half the length and replacing all 14 CCFL's would have run me between $105 and $210. I just didn't want to sink that much money into a set that was given to me because it wasn't working in the first place. (yes, I'm a cheap bastich. haha) So I found the entire backlight panel from a RCA L32HD31L on ebay for $31.50. I figured since both sets were from the same manufacturer and they were the same size, the CCFL's would be the same. You guessed it, they were not.

Needless to say, I was bummed and a little disappointed. But I figured, "What the hell. It could work." So after some soldering and fair bit of cussing, I got it to work. *pats self on the back*

Seems that while I got it to finally work with a picture and everything, I damaged the small ribbon cable while assembling the set back together. When I saw the damaged cable and realized what I had done, let's just say I cussed so much, my dog won't come near me anymore.
Anyone know where I can order one?
