 CCFL backlight - where can I source?
Hi Folks...
I've got a generic (supermarket special!) laptop in for repair - it looks like the Cold Cathode Flourescent backlight has failed.
But can I find one? Not a chance...
Someone must sell these blasted things! (I'm based in the UK but quite happy to source globally if you have a tame supplier)
The display panel is manufactured by LG (who were no help, their UK support merely said to refer to the laptop OEM or a repair shop - dammit, we are!), type LP121S2.
All looks fairly bog standard but not had one of these go before so don't have a known supplier lined up.
Ideas please.

Looks like its a Toshiba or UMAX laptop, since this comes up alot with a search at google.
Looks like LaptopKing has your screen in stock though... the WHOLE screen, not just the tube, its here:

Dont know if i would buy from a company with a crown in the logo though.... 
May also be able to buy from <a href="http://www.mpja.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mpja.com/</a>

Just one thing, check the invertor board first, I see screens go dark, but 90% of the time the bulb is fine, the invertor loses it more often.
