Re: A92: screen backlight
I found the address I was talking about. It's
http://www.fission2.com/el_backlight_kit.htm
>From there go to the "David's EL Backlight page" this is where it gives the
instructions on removing the LCD and such. And yes, it says to use a
hacksaw (just the blade, since it is thin, and will easily rip the foam out)
It gives instructions for the TI-85, but it should work the same for the
92. Also, be careful when removing that sticky tape on the side of the LCD
because there is also a ribbon cable underneath it. You don't want to
damage that. I guess you can also buy the indeglow strips at that site.
Let me know how it turns out. Good Luck.
