[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1767164, member: 46727"] The first thing to do is go to the US site [url]www.ifixit.com[/url] and see what they say. I don't remember if your iMac has an LED backlight arrangement or uses the older tube type. I believe it's LED but am not sure. Normally, the repair for that symptom is to replace the entire display unit since the backlight is built in. Anyway, go to the ifixit web site, and do some research. If you're able to do most work yourself, you should have no problem replacing the display. I'm sure you can shop around over there in the UK (perhaps eBay) and find a new display for less cost.
