    I just got a Fujitsu S6210, and i guess the LCD doesnt have a back light.. my intial thoughts would be to make one.... Now, this might be tricky (undoubtedly), but any ideas on how this can be done? :D
    I'm pretty brave when it comes to computer modding...

    If there doesn't seem to be a backlight then there is something terribly, terribly wrong with your display. Pretty much every notebook on the market has a backlight, I don't know a single one that doesn't.

    By LCD he means the digital display at the top of the keyboard that show battery life, harddrive access, etc. No it doesnt have a backlite.

    O, now i understand. You might be able to use an LED. Spiike from notebookforums.com did a modification on his laptop that used USB power to shine LED's out of his vents.

    Man...that would be pretty tough if you ask me. Getting a little light of some sort down there would be nice though.
