    I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 with a 17" screen. From all my reasearch I have concluded that the backlight is going out (screen is much darker and then I will hear a flicker and the screen will go black, it will come back on if I turn it off, but it will go out again). Dell wants to sell me a whole new screen. Where can I find a backlight for this model and are they pretty easy to install? I don't have much experiance with installing these, but if it's pretty easy I'm sure I can do it. If not, what do you think about GeekSquad, Frys, etc to get it fixed, and would they have the backlight there?

    Thank you for your help!
