There are two types of back lighting in flat screens: LED and fluorescent back lit. LED's are solid state, a little more expensive, run cool, and last a long time. Fluorescent needs a small ballast circuit for the high voltage to "fire" the lamp, run warm-to-hot, and don't last a long time. (but should definitely last longer than 6 or 7 months) Could be ballast, lamp, or (sometimes) a small "pico" fuse. What's the warranty, have you chatted with tech support yet?
May just be better off with the external. But that ends the portability aspect, too. *sigh*
