Default Sources for LCD Inverter repair tutorials?

useful details.


Yep, and that's because the inverters are considered safety-critical
because of the high voltages. No Apple tech will try to 'repair' one,
just replace. Replacements aren't terribly expensive,
but only a certified program-subscribing Apple affiliate can
buy them from the Apple warehouse.

Either find an Apple-sanctioned repair shop, or ask Apple about
mail-in repair. If there's any chance the displays are under
warranty, asking Apple is a good idea, anyhow (they track
warranties by serial number, regardless of owner).
