Re: ABI Boardmaster 4000 part needed

Inverter was definitely bad. Light was working fine but a component on the PCB was getting red hot. Sadly the PCB is now chargrilled :(

Funny thing, inverters. If the backlights are bad the inverter won't run
and if the inverter is bad the backlights won't run, so it's hard to tell
which is bad without replacing one or the other.

You might try finding an equivalent display at DigiKey and see what
converter they sell for it .
