Please tell me the screen bulb is bad.

I can see the colors on the screen and with a flashlite I can see everything works except the thing that lights up the screen.

I connected a monitor to the laptop and I can change the configuration to use the monitor and the external monitor picture works fine, I can also connect a S-Video cable to the laptop to a TV set and the picture works also.

What does not work is the backlight for the LCD screen, so since the other 2 options works great, doesn't mean the LCD bulb is bad?

If yes, how the heck do I get it out, I found a bulb on EBAY, I just don't know how to change it.

It's a HP Pavillion zt1195, thanks
