LCD repair?

[David Ambs]

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
