Sorry, I saw Kai's original post and then haven't been following this thread, but I thought I remembered Kai describing his screen getting dark around the edges and I didn't take this to mean "getting dark" as in loss of back lighting... I took it to mean "getting dark" as in large opaque dark blocks appear on the edges of the screen/grow into the display field.
Kai, whats going on?? Is it just the backlight? If so, I would think you could still make out 'something' of the display on the dark areas if you looked hard enough. -Or, are you seeing dark blocks devoid of any image appearing on your screen? If it's the dark blocks, I'm doubting the backlight would do much for you, as most of the time, when I've seen that, it's been in the display itself rather than the FL/Inverter or physical backlight bulb. Again, I haven't been following the thread, so some of this info may have already been discussed, but if it were me, diagnosing any type of display problem, I'd start by removing the LCD case plastic and top cover and checking the cables where they connect to the LCD/FL Inverter/and MB... I'd pay specific attention to the way the cable routes through the hinge and make sure it isn't badly kinked or freyed in any way...
