    My screen does not light up. Is there a light controller behind the LCD screen that needs replacing or is it an other problem.

    There is a CCFL tube behind your screen that can burn out or it could be the inverter. Can you still see an image (albeit a dark one) even though the backlight is off?

    If you can the inverter is cheaper and easier to replace, so I would try that first.
