If the computer that you are referring to is a laptop, he might be
referring to the backlight. Since I don't know what language the
statement was made in to you, he could be saying that their is an
intermitent short in the backlight (the most common type of backlight
is the Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) in some cases, lamp may have been
translated as 'bulb'

I might add though that with laptops, when there is a problem with a
short in relation to the screen, it is more commonly the inverter not
the not the CCFL. I have heard of CCFL becoming dim, not having
problems with shorting.

Do we have to go to Google Groups and find this thread to figure out
what you're talking about?

It would really be easier if you quoted what you are replying to ;-)
