I have tried this once, but wasn't able to figure out a way to replace
the 130's backlight without destroying the connection between the LCD
and the LCD's electronics. That doesn't mean it isn't possible, it only
means I did not succeed.
If you pay for shipping, I could probably dig up a broken display and send
it your way for free. If you donate at least 5 USD or Euros to either
the Worldwide Newton Association (http://worldwide-newton.asso.eu.org)
or NewtonTalk (www.newtontalk.net), shipping will be on me.
Cheers
Frank
