Hi I have an Emerson lc195emx LCD TV that just has broken cathode lamps inside of it and then I have this LCD screen from a iMac that has the exact same cathode lamps just smaller same plugs everything can I just take that those cathode lamps out of the iMac computer screen and plug them into the Emerson TV and make it work?
 
Solution
Just because the plugs are the same doesn't mean that you can use the imac lamps.
They could be a different voltage and if the voltage is the same the amount of light may not provide sufficient brightness.
If you can't find the specs on the original and replacement lamps it will be a gamble.
