Yeah, that's annoying.  I had a monitor backlight fail under warranty.
What was annoying was that it cost something like $50 to ship out for
service, and I knew I'd be without a monitor for potentially weeks,
but at least a week or two.  The monitor was actually a decent one I
wasn't really in a rush to replace.

So of course I had to go buy a new shiny monitor, and now the repaired
one is my second monitor.  :)
