Yup, it needs a new light source. It is a lamp that rests at the bottom of the screen and looks like a mini-fluorescent tube.
You can try to do this yourself (make sure you get the right replacement lamp first) or you can take it to a service center. If you are handy with your tools, it's not very hard to do.
