It is actually INSIDE the panel itself.
This is not normally a "do it yourself" project, although it depends on
how the LCD panel is constructed (a few of them can be changed without
too much difficulty; most can't).
However, there are places that will change the backlight (the total
cost, including the lamp and the labor, is usually about $100). You may
be able to find an entire replacement panel for about the same amount.
