Sony Camcorder repair - LCD black out

Anyone here any experience of repairing Sony camcorders? I have a handycam Sony DCR-HC19E and the LCD seems to have gone faulty. The touchscreen still works OK and it records picture, so it's not the CCD, but there is no image on the LCD at all, just a black screen. It's out of warranty, and probably not worth getting repaired professionally with the price of camcorders these days. Any tips on what it might be and if it can be fixed at home - like lose wire or something easy?

Thanks.

Possibly a bad ribbon cable or the backlight failed.

Thanks Jumpster. Can you explain what you mean by the backlight failed? Is the LCD lit up by back light?
