Hi

I have an IBM T20 laptop but the lcd has suddenly gone dark. If I hold the screen at an angle I can see that there is an image there, it just isnt lit up. I've tried connecting the laptop to an external monitor and it works fine. I've been trawling the net for solutions and so far have come up with either the inverter or the backlight have gone. Does anyone have any other thoughts on what might be wrong?

I can source an inverter on Ebay that doesnt cost much so wondered if this was worth a go in the first instance. I cant see backlights for sale anywhere so does that mean I'd need to replace the whole lcd display? I know this would be really expensive to get done for me so do people think it would be worth my while to try and source a second hand screen on Ebay or elsewhere and do it myself or would this be really complicated?

Thanks
