[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1629086"] None of us ever can until we have no choice, and then -- magically -- we find a way. I'm suggesting you start planning rather than waiting until you are up a creek, that's all. If it's working fine on full brightness (ouch, I don't think I've ever used a computer on full brightness, must be my vampire side of the family :)), then this would suggest that the problem isn't the bulbs but the display inverter (and its the most common part to have a problem in this area). I'd suggest you consider just taking a chance and replacing it in the hopes that that is the problem. Since I'm not sure what model this is exactly, here's a link to the display inverter repair guides for a core duo Macbook: [url]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+Duo+Inverter+Replacement/308[/url] Not a fun job. Glad I don't have to do these anymore. [/QUOTE]
