I've got an lcd monitor with a dead inverter here, screen and lamps are
good.

I can get two JKL BXA-12579 inverters from a local (uk) stockist,
though the *******s are just selling off their last stock so I don't
know where I'll get CCFL goodies after that...

What concerns me is the lack of brightness control I would then have.
I could turn off one inverter to halve the brightness, but that's quite
coarse adjustment ;o)

Any comments ?

I've got a dozen high brightness white leds here, I'm tempted to see
how well they light it up...

The original part is Lien Chang LI-2021, but I suspect the JKL parts
are tougher and easier to get.

Cheers,
Alex
