I'm working on a Philips 170B1 17" LCD monitor with a bad back light
inverter. The inverter has 2 transformers (one for each tube). One
of the transformers is arcing internally. As Richard has said, it is impossible to purchase this part. Which pisses me off! (Not RIchard, just that Philips won't sell me a $5 part, I even called them, they wanted $100, to look at it. Sheesh, I know the problem, stop screwing me.) Anyone in here have a faulty screen or faulty inverter and can help me acquire this transformer? I don't mind paying for it.


The board has this printed on it:

T50I016.00
0108018-40

AMBIT REV:4
T50I016.00

The transformer has this printed on it:
22.0316.39 0108

Digital Piracy Raids Internet Arrests July 4-2005
# Four are taken into custody in 11 countries in a series of actions targeting 20 groups.

Law enforcement officials in 11 countries swooped in on more than 20 groups accused of being key suppliers of pirated goods online, arresting four people and seizing computers stuffed with bootlegged movies, games, illegal materials, stolen software, etc

The Wednesday raids, dubbed "Operation Site Down" by the U.S. Department of Justice, targeted high-level "warez" groups, the secretive online communities that obtain and distribute pirated computer programs and other digital goods.


"This is the very top of the online piracy pyramid," said John Malcolm, a former Justice Department official who leads the anti-piracy efforts. Evidence seized should lead investigators to more groups, he said, and many others should be deterred by the prospect of serving "serious jail time."

A new federal law sets penalties of up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught distributing a movie or song before its commercial release.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that two well-known file-sharing networks could be sued for inducing piracy, and on Wednesday a federal jury for the first time convicted someone of criminal copyright infringement for recording movies with a video camera in a theater. Meantime, the major record labels continued their campaign of suing individual users of file-sharing networks, filing lawsuits against 784 people suspected of infringing copyrights.

Pressed hard by entertainment and software companies, the Justice Department has launched three major international assaults on warez groups since 2000. This week's operation — which included raids in Europe, Australia and Israel — was the product of three separate undercover investigations by FBI agents in San Jose, Chicago and Charlotte, N.C.

According to the Justice Department, agents raided more than 70 sites in the United States and more than 20 others abroad. The raids shut down at least eight online distribution points for pirated goods, some of which had been created during the course of the investigation.
