How is the icebook screen put together ??

I am wondering since I think I see the first signs on aging on my 500 mhz
dual USB icebook (first model after clamshell ever)

It seems to me .. And I may be crudely childish in this .. That the screen
is illuminated by mini neon tubes which are on top and bottom of the screen
... 


Like this 


- - - - - 



- - - - - 



So ... No, one, which is will mark as X seems to be dead .. As that sector
of the screen is now noticably darker ... Albeit still not too annoying ..


- - - - - 


- - - x - 


Is there anything to that theory or may that be something very else /
fixable .. 

I am happy to say that my ancient clamshell (hey, Dan :)  is still working
superfine
