"I would look at the back light invertor board for the Toshiba problem". My Toshiba TV's picture just went black and I do have sound. Where would I find the back light invertor board??
You have to take off the back cover, and may have to remove the metal frame. They're usually located on the left or right side of the LCD. Depending on your model, you may have more than one backlit inverter board. Mine has two. But take some precautions such as unplugging the power cord, and let it sit a while. Avoid touching any capacitors.
I didn't mention the CCFL bulb, as these tend to have long lifetimes, and rarely just fail completely.
BTW, here's a trick I discovered if this is an intermittent problem? If you turn on your LCD and have sound but no picture? Then turn it off on the remote, and back on but at the same time press the channel up or down button repeatedly. Keep tapping the channel button until the picture comes on. If still getting sound but no picture, repeat the process. This has worked for me many times but gets old after a while.
