Here is a video of the CCFL tubes and how they fail, youll be able to see that on some tubes only one half of the tube illuminates, at those ends usually there is a char ring at the end of the tube.

Hi, do you have the diameter of the ccfl tube ?
thanks for your work 🙂
its 3 bundled CCFL tubes, technically any 3 will do as long as they have the same working voltage and current, as well as the bundle can fit in a 6x6mm space, 7×7 if really well made.
To use the inverter on the wacom, it requires all 6 CCFLs have power sent to them, meaning you cant just swap out for 1 big one.
Hi,
This info is great man very handy! Do you by any chance know the specs on the ccfl tubes? I’m in the uk with a dead 24hd and I’m going to just replace the tubes and caps.
Im afraid not, sorry, Ive emphasized heavily of course the dangers of replacing the tubes, and that it might not be possible to put the CCFL reflector/tube holder back in where it originally was either, of course, truth be told i didnt really try all that hard since it wasnt even neccesary, trimming it was always an option too.
The tubes didnt have any writing or markings on them, and im not aware either of any methods for testing it either. However, wacom did stress that it was an industry standard CCFL setup, so, if you can find tubes suitable for a number of different monitors of the same screen dimensions, chances are those too will also work in the wacom. per tube you’ll want about 50W/6 = 8-9W.
