Let there be backlight!
When life gives you busted up old LCD panels, make… lightboxes! I constructed this one out of the CCFL backlight from an old laptop LCD I found around the space. It gives a nice, even white light, and runs off a 9V at about half an amp.
The inverter for the backlight was long gone, so I replaced it with one of these inexpensive CCFL inverters from MPJA.
A little hot glue and acrylic cement later, we have a perfectly serviceable lightbox. Now, what ever could we use one of those for?
