Hi,

Before I go ripping things apart, I was keen to see if anyone had tried the same.

I've a Powerbook 170 - my favourite 68K portable, which suffers from bad "tunnel vision" from the CCFL backlighting slowly fading out over time.

In my posession is a Powerbook 150 and Powerbook 160 (both of which have passive screens, same resolution and size as PB 170), both with good backlighting - could I do a switch of the backlighting guts into the 170?

TIA

JB
