Thanks. Very helpful.
I just replaced my inverter succesfully with the help of your instructions.
I found two noteworthy things.

1. I had some trouble with step 10 thanks to a piece of clear tape that was put across the plug. Typical D’OH! moment but it was really clear tape.
2. The inverter I received was not the same as the original. After careful examination of the type numbers, it turned out that my original was a v2, while the replacement is a v4. They appear identical except for the mounting screw, which was on the edge of the original model and in the center of the replacement.
I happened to have a piece of clear tape that solved this problem for me.

Now I also received the backlight itself (did I order that?). From what I’ve been reading, you have to take apart the LCD screen and solder it on the existing wires.
I decided that this was best left to someone who doesn’t lose tiny screws between couch pillows.

Thanks!

I was wondering where the laptop hinge switch would be on this particular model. I’m having a problem with the PC going to sleep when I close the lid. I have the correct settings enabled in Windows (when I close the lid “do nothing”) but it still goes to sleep. I have tried everything involved with the software (new drivers, BIOS, ACPI) and nothing has worked so I’m trying to find the physical switch to either disable it or remove it. Any help would be appreciated.
