I did not take pictures of the inverter board that is sitting right next to the LCD screen.
However, before i got my 6v 5ah Lead Acid battery rebuilt, I was monkeying around with the portable using a Powerbook 1x brick to run it.
The back-light ended up going out on me... I was quite sad by this.
Ended up rebuilding my battery, and then taking apart the screen to have a look at the inverter.
I found 2 little radial 16v 10uf caps, basically i soldered tantalum caps on the back side of the PCB right to the bottoms of the cap leads, then clipped the caps off from the top.
put it all back together and voilà the back-light now works.
Here are a couple pictures, next project, dreaded HD conversion
