Arfa,

I originally read it the same way, but now that the above reply on DC to
AC automotive type inverter was posted, I conclude that the OP was not
at
all clear. The fact that the manufacturer was mentioned by name
(Gateway)
would seem to point to this being a LCD backlight, but since the
specific
model number was not provided, limits the usefulness of any response.

Hi Bob. Yeah, I grant you it's not very specifically clear, but I still
reckon that it was a backlight inverter by implication. As I read it, it
was
basically exactly what I would have said without stopping to think that
there was another possibility for the word "inverter". I think it's just
a
case of 'engineer to engineer speak'. Perhaps the OP should clarify ?

It was weird to me as well but I thought perhaps the OP wants to run his
charger on a long trip or something.

I am the OP and apologize for not being more specific and also for not
following my own thread for the last couple of days.

Yes, it was the backlight inverter that I needed. I found one on eBay
and it should be here tomorrow.

Thanks to all.

John
