I just changed the inverter on my daughter's laptop and it works again.<br /><br />One tip: keep especially good track of which is the NEW inverter and which is the OLD.

I finally got them out (heated with a soldering iron and then they'd turn a little) -- semi stripped heads but I'll take them down to the local Fry's and get replacements. <BR/><BR/>Turns out the new inverter has one attachment hole in a slightly different place than the old one did, and when I hooked all up minus that one screw, the screen still didn't illuminate -- just the faint images. So either (1) that second screw is an important ground, (2) the new inverter is different electronically than the one required, or (3) the problem's something else. I guess I'll start by trying to get an inverter with the holes in the right places, and work from there. <BR/><BR/>Your post still rocks, and I appreciate your help. If you'd like pics from my travails, please let me know. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again --<BR/>ScottM.S.

Super tiny, Phillips, apparently without any depth to them -- as if an insect took his tiniest Phillips and ground off the point so it ended in just an X. I ground down a flat eyeglass repair screwdriver, which fit one axis, but it won't turn it. Is there a tool or a trick I'm missing? Thanks! --ScottM.S.
