That's FOUR replacements in just over three years. What garbage! Hopefully this part lasts A LOT longer than the previous ones... Thanks again! Excellent article; very helpful to me in replacing my crummy Dell’s (Inspiron E1505) backlight, which had to be replaced THREE TIMES while under warranty, and now again after the warranty has expired.

Thanks again!

Great laptop; has been my main machine for 8+ years and I plan to keep it going for as long as I can. Just started having this problem in 2010; first problem I've had with this computer (other than a wonky stick mouse on the keyboard, which I disconnected). My screen still works with the backlight dimmed. My screen is a 15", but is also 1400x1050. Does that make sense? I didn't realize the 14.1" and 15" screens were both 1400x1050 compatible. Anyway I guess I need a 302mm bulb instead of the 292mm. Thanks for your posting. It was very informative. I'm looking forward to the repair. I have a 2002 Dell 8200.

Well written. Made me laugh because I can identify with your frustration and the delicate work. This was also very informative about what I need to do to repair my own Inspiron 8000 with the same problem. Good story. Well written.
