But have a look first! Actually there's no inverter, the service manual* states that it's an "LED Display Assembly" and no separate backlight board is listed. So an LED backlight. It could still be an issue with the power supply for the LEDs, but potentially an issue on the motherboard, not easily fixed by replacing a separate board. Or a faulty wire/connector is still possible, though replacing modern connectors for FFC cables is extremely difficult compared to eg. a failed through-hole inverter capacitor, so I'd be most worried about that really. I recently stuffed up one of my successful repairs when I broke one of those unfathomably fine-pitched connectors while reassembling the device afterwards. Extremely frustrating! Oh for 1980s tech and its 0.1" spaced pin headers... * https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01740724.pdf (pg. 26) -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
