Bought a laptop with a dead screen off ebay to act as a firewall between my lan and broadband.  And possibly as a low voltage web enabled HA box.   When I got the laptop the chap said that the screen did work but was really dim.  As I was planning to run netmeeting to access it I was quite happy to have it with no screen but out of interest I whipped the screen apart carefully to 'see how it worked'.  First I saw it was a good quality  12" TFT screen..
 
Here I had a revalation.  Laptop screens have a lamp in them  (always thought of the screen as LED, rather than LCD...)  Powered the screen back on and looked closely and saw a perfect but unilluminated image.
 
Rooted about on the net for a few hours and found it could be the inverter circuit or the lamp.  Then I found a stateside company that sold the lamps for $9..  $25 shipping though.
 
So...  Anyone know a uk supplier of these laptop lamps..  Preferably one that will accept none trade orders (or someone with a trade account at such a supplier that'll put an order through for me).
 
I would order it from the states but am worried something so thin (3mm) and delicate may not survive the journey..
 
Also not having a tft screen not attached to a laptop - which is cheaper to run?  CRT or LCD?
 
Thanks
 
Maf
