If it ain't broke...

It is broke, unfortunately.

A few weeks back, the LCD on Tammy's laptop went kaput. After a bit of research I found that it was most likely the power inverter that failed, causing the backlight of the LCD to go out. I ordered a replacement part online and set to fix it. Amazingly, it was the problem and Tammy's laptop was back to working correctly.

It looks like it is broken again. Same symptoms. Is there a power problem? Is it just a bad inverter that I got? I could replace the inverters until the cows come home, but if they keep going out it's a fruitless effort. I need to find the cause of the problem. It could be that the laptop is just on it's last legs and it's time for a refresh. Ugh.

It's a miracle! I went to sit down and hook up the laptop to my KVM switch, opened it up and viola! LCD is working fine. whew.
