To Ben Myers
Hello Ben:
Glad to see your still on the group. :) Out of curiousity how much (ballpark) would you charge to replace the bulb on a gateway 4027 providing nothing else is wrong, such as the inverter or screen? Do you usually do both at one time, or is there a way to benchtest the inverter, bulb, screen? Much thanks for all you help for at least the last decade. Ever since I had the trusty 386,s. Much regards Jerry |

Not sure about Gateways, but with Dell laptops I replace the screen, bulb and
inverter. Dell, or more accurately Dell's system assembler, pairs the inverters with the screens in matched sets. When they produce a new run of the same model, it is highly probably that there will be a different screen and inverter matched set with the same physical connector as the old one, but with different voltages and even pinouts. I made the mistake once of replacing the screen and leaving the inverter in a Dell. The new combination lasted a couple of days before biting the dust. I would do the same with a Gateway for maybe $250 to $300, depending on cost and availability of the parts...
