After reading these posts, it sounded like someone here could help me. If so, I would be very appreciative. I have an IBM X20 laptop and the display has gone dark. I took it to a laptop repair specialist in my area who says that the inverter board is fine, and that the lamp (bulb) is the problem. The bulb needs to be replaced, but he says he can't unseal the display to do it and therefore I have to buy a new screen. Can he be right? I've done some research myself, and it seems that many people often do the work themselves, so I don't understand why it should be impossible to replace the lamp/bulb.

Can anyone give me some advice on this? Thank you ...

Regards.
