Inverter on my T21 gets pretty hot, is that normal?

hey guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this, lately i have noticed that the inverter warms up alot and i am ever afraid of the thing melting the plastic which im sure won't happen anyway.

It only really happens on full brightness, and so i dont run with full brightness all the time anyway, plus it will make the CCFL last longer this way i spose

its an indication that your invertor is on its way out.
the voltage regulator might be going

really? [censored] i will wait for this one to go and then replace it then, i probably have a suitable replacement somewhere,

Thanks

Several weeks ago someone asked the question about heat coming from the lower right corner of his screen. He thought it was the inverter but it turned out to be a broken down connection where the inverter connects to the CCFL. The heat was coming from high voltage leaking at the connection.

yeah i just pulled it apart and there is nothing wrong with the cable,
the inverter hasn't been swapped, and it still gets warm, plus i cut myself open while using my swiss army knife, yay.

can anyone else with a t21 let me know about what their in theirs, does it get warm? i mean its warm not hot. and and it doesnt affect the screen or anything.
