Hi everyone, I will pay $20 to the person that can refer me to a shop that can and will fix my IBM thinkpad (at a reasonable cost) before Wednesday March 26th. The backlight on the LCD screen isn't working and I really need it for my 36 hour drive from Calgary back to Toronto. Without it, I'll be a bored mess! PLEASE HELP!?!? I live in NW Calgary.

You are looking at most likely a $400 spare part if you're lucky or replacement of the entire LCD display at a cost of no less than $700 if you're unlucky...and that will also depend on the model of your laptop. If you're curious, call Metafore ask for a quote on an FL Inverter or an LCD replacement screen for your laptop model. But you can forget about the $20 offer....there will be no takers as the time it takes to replace that alone will most likely be minimum 40 minutes to 1.5 hours regardless of where you get it done. Rates now begin at $50 or more for sure per hour.

Hi everyone again, I found out what was wrong. When the notebook is closed there is a button that gets pressed that turns off the backlight to save batteries. During a rough shipping, that button was snapped off and got wedged into the hole that it goes in not allowing the button to open back up when the notebook opens. It was hard to figure out what was wrong but everything is working now. Except now the lcd doesn't shut off when the notebook is closed. Oh well, better than $700 repair Thanks everyone.
