I'd start by looking at the inverter board. From pictures online, it looks like that laptop uses an blue electroluminescent sheet for the backlight, not a ccfl like more modern laptops. -J
EL backlighting has a fairly short halflife I believe. Maybe it's possible to get a new sheet of it. Converting it over to use modern LED backlighting systems might be another trick, but I don't know if modern laptops run LED PWD in time to the screen refresh, or if there is room where the EL sheet was. - Ethan O'Toole
