No high voltage on an LCD, it's a low volt device that the presence or lack
of voltage causes the cystals to align or scatter, causing balck or clear.
There's two types and I don't need to go into the diffs in field effect and
the other.
Your outlook on what might be at fault is good. This is one of those things
that someone that does this a lot could probably snap their fingers and have
the answer. I personally haven't had that much experience with that machine
and would have to dig in the schematics and do some hands on to try to
isolate it.
