- For a laptop LCD screen, replacing the Inverter or Backlight would not be an issue. With a desktop computer monitor there are Electrolytic Capacitors inside, that hold a Much larger charge than a laptop LCD screen. These Capacitors are designed to hold a charge for weeks, sometimes months, after the unit has been unplugged from power. A skilled electronics technician, knows how to Properly drain the charge from those Capacitors, before working on the unit. I do Not know your electronics expertise, and advise you to Not open this unit. It is a Safety issue, and your safety is valued Above Anything else!
