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? ;)<br>

Anyone here handy enough to do LCD repair? To make a long story short, I<br>get no display on my laptop anymore... well, I get a tad, but seems the<br>backlight isn't kicking on. I figure I'd buy a backlight and replace it
<br>for the heck of it.&lt;tearing that display apart was a damn learning<br>experience.... why does it take 500+ screws to hold this thing together?!&gt;<br><br>
