General Craftiness

So, this isn't a craft I'm posting about, but I think it goes in life's "General Craftiness" folder. My laptop screen kicked it last weekend. Well, I thought it kicked it. Actually, the backlighting for the LCD screen stopped working. Not accepting the fact that I needed a new laptop since everything else seemed to be in working order, I hit the internet. I found a description of my exact problem. Conveniently, there was a link to a play- by-play describing how to take apart my computer and replace what was broken (LCD inverter). I took a picture of the insides for your enjoyment (the little green strip at the bottom is the LCD inverter that I replaced for a whopping $28!!). See, it pays to be crafty and resourceful!!
