Without warning, my LCD screen flickered, then dimmed at the top. At the same time, my power button began a blinking sequence; two short, and one long blink. I have since discovered this is an alarm for the backlighting lamp.

The monitor is still usable. It's just darker.

My computer is out of warranty so sending it off to repair is out of the question. How involved is replacing/ordering a backlight? Should I just leave it alone?

At the very least, I would like to reset the alarm. The blinking is more annoying than the problem.

Thanks
