Oups! Sorry about that. I was probably tired when I read your email. If you bought the display assembly, then there is no need, of course, to disassemble the defective one. As somebody else pointed out, I don't think that a bad inverter could blow the lamp. But I'm no technician. Kyle, where are you when we need you ???? ;-) Send an email to Kyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. He's the other G-Books nanny. Just send him a short, polite email. He's an experienced Mac technician so it should take him just a few seconds to tell you whether this is a good move or a bad move... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] careware /keir'weir/ n.: A variety of shareware for which either the author suggests that some payment be made to a nominated charity or a levy directed to charity is included on top of the distribution charge.
