whilst the r40 is turned on try levering up the little button, which is depressed when the screen is closed,(top right of keyboard bezel) with a small flat screw driver. If this fixes it you will need to trim off the lug on the screen bezel which depresses the button.

Otherwise yes there is a backlight tube and they can be replaced but it is not a particularly easy job.

Good luck
