I have an idea to mount a 20" Intel iMac LCD from a 20" white 2.0 on a 17" iMac 2.0 machine, I want to know if I can connect the inverter board from the 17" display to the 20" one. Anyone done this?:Mischievous:

Probably not. The inverters are specifically paired to the panel - this is because the CCFL tube that provides the backlight varies depending on the length of the panel and will require different voltage depending on that length. So, while I can quote you specific requirements, as a general rule, you must pair the inverter with the panel it's designed to power.
