Anyone here handy enough to do LCD repair? To make a long story short, I get no display on my laptop anymore... well, I get a tad, but seems the backlight isn't kicking on. I figure I'd buy a backlight and replace it for the heck of it.<tearing that display apart was a damn learning experience.... why does it take 500+ screws to hold this thing together?!> Still no light coming on. I can see the display on the LCD very faintly, so I know something is getting out there. Could it be the power inverter that is going out as well? Is there any way to test that? I'd hate to keep buying random parts until it fixes it. Are there any local shops that would fix it? It may be easier to have someone else fix it then me mess with it forever =]
Thanks for any responses -dave

What is the make/model? Some have fairly standard CCFL tubes for the backlight that can be purchased online. You might even need to find the LCD model from the panel itself to find a proper tube. Many times if the tube is dead it will have dark/black marks or even cracks. Did this happen slowly, or did it get dropped/jarred/knocked funny or looked at crosseyed? ;)
