Three.. :)

I recently got a 1999 Sony 21" monitor. Apparently, Sony does not have
spare components anymore. There are schematics, but if a custom part has
failed, I'm screwed. 

This seems to happen quite a lot with late 90s/early 00s higher-end
monitors, and none of the vendors seem to be willing to sell any spares.
