That would surprise me very much. I am pretty sure they
don't. I doubt that it'd be easy to get 60+ connectors,
120+ wires, solder them to the backlight and still keep
the announced price.=20

You will have to do this soldering yourself in either=20
case I'm afraid.=20
I would not recommend trying this if you do not know
your way around a soldering iron fairly well. Much better
than what would be required to e. g. take an eMate apart.
It is very easy to destroy a backlight within seconds if
you apply too much heat.=20
