Well I ordered the A4 sheet. Expensive, but at least it comes with the inverter and wiring.
So, The seller did say I can cut down the sheet, and fold over the electrode, and it would work fine. So we will see....
As far as wiring the inverter into the portable, I have yet to figure out how I am going to do that. I think I will pick off the system standby signal from the PMU IC (yes, I know which pins those are, haha).
Once I have that, I can then allow the inverter to be switched on or off depending on whether the machine is in standby or powered on.
As far as electronic brightness control from the OS, Well thats not possible unless I develop my own little hardware with a custom control panel that speaks to it, Or.. if someone would graciously let me "borrow" a 5120 to 5126 apple backlit conversion portable/kit.
This would allow me to reverse engineer the control logic they created, and I can adapt it over to EL/LED. No issue.
