Default WDS PTU Screen

On start-up, the screen on my PTU has a red/pink tint which only starts to clear after about 10 minutes of running.

From what I read, this is a sign of a dying CCFL (fluorescent tube) or possibly, but less likely, the inverter.

Has anyone ever replaced or got any information on the CCFL used in the WDS PTU screen.

Thanks

not in that screen, but have in hundreds of others, usually they are relatively simple to replace, finding the right one can be tricky, would need the actual manufacturer and model of the lcd

Thank you both for the information on the CCFL.

I have never changed one of these units before, so is there anything I should watch out for
