Guys I have an LCD TV with faulty inverter or power supply. When I turn it on, cold cathode flourescent tubes are working for a second, and they goes dark.
I have tried to make work one of them (there are 8 flourescent tubes in backlit unit), via simple dual inverter (from case modification lamp) and 12V DC adapter, and I get success !
However, flourescent was working with half brightness. I mean inverter was probably feeding them with 24v instead of 12v.
Original inverter of the TV was this one;

My question is:
Can I get work those 8 flourescent tubes via dual inverter and 24V DC adaptor ? I' m kind of unenlightened on electrics, so I need your advices.
THX in advance.
PS: There is no chance to repair it in my place... Only way is this way lol.

Firs of all thx for the replies.
I can power two lamps with one case modification lamp inverter. Which was this one;

Actually I changed my idea because of poor voltage output of this inverter. I mean, I need to learn about voltage output value of original (Darfon) inverter. Then I should find an inverter (from case mod products) that gives same voltage output with original one.
Do you have an idea about original inverter's voltage output ? I emailed manufacturer but they have not replied me... And there is no detailed information (in website of Darfon) about their inverter products.
Emailed the manufacturer, but I think they will not respond me. So I don't have a choice.
Stocker said:The lamps themselves will be running off several hundred volts, which is why you need the inverter.
If you can power all the lamps with individual inverters
and you don't mind the things hanging out the side (keep the wires short on the high voltage side! )
then go for it.
