Tried my ThinkPad T60p and it seems like the backlight is working again so maybe it was a fluke when it wasn't working all those months ago... maybe it is "so back bros" as they say

Well it stopped working again. Question is is it the CCFL bulb or the inverter board, and do I waste my time replacing both
Okay I believe it is the inverter board, maybe the ribbon cable came loose, or something. I squeezed below the screen where the board is and it works now. So that is a relief because if it breaks for good that's way easier to fix than a CCFL tube...
