A lot of backlite LCDs panels use a soda-straw sized floresent bulb. The bulbs go bad
after a few years. If you're carefull you might be able to open it up and replace the
bulb.

Anyone have any hints on what to do with the LCD display whose backlight has
quit? I can still (barely) see that the TFT panel is working, but there's no
light behind it, making it rather difficult to see. The panel looks
physically ok, but it could have gotten beat up... this laptop is used in the
field a bit. Numbers off the back: Toshiba LTM11C016 (label on back right
vertical edge), and on the other bit: NRL75-8859-111 K6C05 0190 (label on
back top edge).
