DIY LCD Backlight Repair

lol, i love this comment
A barely legible article that contains the absolute minimum information about a potentially lethal operation involving jillions of volts of capacitance and using power tools to cut almost-but-not-quite into one of the most toxic substances around, which, not at all incidentally, we are advised to just "dispose" of when we're done with it. Gee, I wonder what the author did with his? Tossed it in the garbage, or throw it into the sewer?

Frankly I'd rather that we just linked to bomb making instructions, as it would probably result in fewer acute injuries and chronic health problems.

Heh, does make you think about whether you should risk your life just to save a few hundred dollars 🙂

In truth though, I don't even think that LCD's contain very high capacity caps, as opposed to CRT's. And, how is one supposed to dispose of a mercury vapor light? I know that countless lights from street lamp type fixtures get thrown in the garbage every year.

Also, how much mercury does it take to kill you? I recall playing with the mercury in a broken thermometer when I was a kid (before I knew it was bad for you of course). Maybe I've already suffered major brain damage 😀
