Well, I can't answer with great authority on this one, I just don't know all the possibilities. However, I can say if it were me I'd just go ahead and plug in the new display and see what happened. Err, but that's me, and I have extra bits with which to play and the thought of killing an otherwise good display doesn't dismay me all that much. That said, I don't think there's much risk in trying it out. I really doubt a bad inverter will kill a known-good CCFL lamp. That's just my best guess though, so don't blame me if you burn down your neighborhood or something! Sorry I can't be more positive about the answer, but this is one of those "take-yer-chances" sort of deals. However, do tell us (or me anyway, am I the only one interested? :-) the outcome please! dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
