I have the exact same computer as you, and exact same hitachi monitor, and have the exact same problem. It turns on for a bit, then turns off. and LCD is fine.

I am thinking it is either backlight or the inverter.

The inverter is indeed put together with the metal plate, but the part number is visible if you remove the power cable on the right.
It is PH-BLC91

You can type that in google, and it'll return one site that sells that part.

I want to purchase one for cheap. Some people around the forum said that that place was expensive.

Please let me know if you have a luck with the problem.
