Has any body attempted changing the backlight on their laptop? Mines a Dell precision m60. I had a previous thread asking why my monitor goes off but have since realised it is only the backlight going out. It lasts about 20 seconds before its gone but as soon as the little plug under the button strip to the screen is removed and replaced, its back on for another 20 seconds.

Im no computer techy guy but am quite capable of taking things apart and rebuilding.

It would be a shame to scrap it if its a fairly inexpensive fix.

@ beermonster...thanks for your reply in my previous thread. What are your thoughts now im fairly sure its the back light.

Once again, Thanks in advance
