Yeah, you can remove them from the display, plug them back into the inverter and power the monitor up. You are right though, that all 4 of them would die at the same time would be weird. Id probably suspect the inverter or possibly the main board that feeds the power to the inverter. It would be a money gamble to just replace the inverter without knowing for sure. If you have a multimeter, you can test out for dc voltage into the inverter (the multipin connecter). This site below has a picture of what the pins are, as I suspect monitors to be similar to laptop screens. Also, you could try contacting a place to see if they would be willing to test it for you, just send in your inverter and lights, possibly a local place...
