laptop backlight

Where is the best place to buy a laptop backlight for a compaq presario 1240? buylcds.com looks good, but i want to make sure.

Frankly, I think you would be better off going through Compaq, unless you are a real whiz on repairing laptops. :(

how much will they charge me?

Probably an arm and a leg...and they will most certainly suggest you consider buying a new laptop (from them, of course). I was just trying to give it to you gently. That model is an "oldie" and it would probably cost more to repair it than what it's worth.

well, im just gonna buy a backlight
from buylcds.com i'll take a shot

Good luck. I hope it turns out good for you. :)

There's a place out on the east coast that replaces backlights for a flat $99. I sent one in that I got for a steal on ebay with a burned-out backlight, and I had my laptop back about a week or so.
