Yep, twice. One a laptop and t'other desktop. But they were CCFL so perhaps not a refutation of your premise ^-^

And was it just to swap a CCFL power supply or were the tubes themselves damaged?
I know how they degrade over a long time, but they should last almost forever.
I'm just curious.

Tubes themselves. One involved separating all the layers of the screen, and it was never the same afterwards (although it worked it had obviously been worked on). T'other was just a slide-in job one the old one was slid out. Worked great afterwards, so much so that I wouldn't be able to identify which one it was now.

Interesting, do you have any closer information on the age and hours they were lit?
PlainName:
It was a long time ago, so no. At the time the tubes were reasonably easily available, which suggests repairs weren't uncommon.
