Tube?! On an LCD?!?

It sounds like your backlight may have gone I guess? Not entirely sure as if it was the backlight I'd expect the whole thing to go.

yes tube a small lighting tube like the one you have in your kitchen thats runs off the inverter is what you call backlight and there are more than one which is why one is lighting the others kaput
backlights so wrong too as the bulbs usually run down either side or top and bottom

lcd has fluorescent tubes
crt is a Cathode Ray Tube hence crt
