DIY LCD Backlight Repair

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the franken-monitor-to-pillage-local-town dept.

Bill Nye (not the science guy) writes to tell us that InventGeek has an interesting article on do it yourself LCD backlight repair. From the overview: "Those of us that have used LCD monitors for a while know that over time the backlight starts to dim and will eventually completely fail. Leaving you with some electronic scrap that you could sell on eBay for 35 bucks or so. Well for less than $20.00 and about a half hour of your time you can replace the backlight and rejuvenate that monitor to as good as new condition."

    Gentlemen and Ladies:

    Jared Bouck shouldn't be allowed to leave the house or go to the bathroom without a proofreader looking over his shoulder. You do understand the concept of proofreading, don't you?

    Thanks so much for helping to elevate the literacy rate, especially amongst technorati who, as we all know, are already legendary for their spelling and grammar skills.

    Sincerely,
