Zenith Screen backlight problem

[Thursty]

So I just got my new Zenith screen today, Power it on with the main setup, Works fine with the PSone.

Then I unhooked everything and set it up with my N64.

When it would power on the backlight would come on, I would switch the screen off and back on, and it wouldn't work until I resoldered power on.

now the backlight does not work at all.

Anyone know why the backlight would suddenly die on a completely un-modded screen?

BTW I tested other backlights(that worked) which do not work, so I know for a fact the actually tube itself is okay.

Faulty board?

LED mod it.

Well it is a gas bulb inside. Could be multiple reasons, burnt out, cracked, etc.

Still though, led modding isn't tough and saves you power and space.
