[NTLK] 2001 Backlight on last legs.

[Fundamental Learning Australia]

Okay cool thanks for that Forrest!
Hey, Frank! (Can I call you Frank?!) I know things might be difficult for you (what with lockdown...) but if at all possible and when convenient, what can be done to revive my 2001 with a new and brighter backlight? I’ve had it for yonks and I don’t want to give up on it!
