cold cathode tubes, chances are its the invertor, last one I repaired was on a tv high voltage capacitors had gone cost £5 to replace all of them

yer inverter isn't a lot from ebay... proberly worth giving it a try, will be as far as i go with it i think.
could then buy a screen and find it something else.

if you shine a torch close to the screen you should be able to see that the lcd display is working if its a backlight problem

My Dell Precision back light went, looking carefully you could see the screen was on.
An inverter would have cost me around a tenner and a tube was a few quid. Yep I went for a tube.
It's like a foot long piece of spaghetti, quite easy to replace, though you have to strip the screen
right down.

The backlight failed on my Mums netbook so as a workaround till I got her a replacement I connected the laptop to a desktop monitor and programmed it to boot up to external monitor only. It was no longer portable but it still gave her some access.
