redneck laptop hacks April 21, 2008
Posted by Al Castle in : Puter Stuff, Squirrels, Picture of the Day, Friends , trackbackI was talking to a friend of mine last night and he was telling me how the backlight for his laptop went dead. This is the light inside of the laptop screen (monitor) that illuminates it and lets you actually use / see the items on the screen.
He’s a technician and not afraid to take anything apart. He’s also evidently quite crafty as you can see from this picture he sent me.

He’s removed the cover from the laptop, and then placed an industrial shop light behind the screen, with a flap of tinfoil over to act as shield and prevent the user from having their retinas burnt out. I’ve detailed some of the finer points of the picture so be sure to check it out.
