Not sure what price it would bring, but repairing the backlights would make it worth considerably more.

:D Besides, you know you want the challenge :D

That backlight should be repaired if you want to get out the maximum out of the sale...my opinion only...

If you're not comfortable doing that yourself, I know jamiphar offers that type of service, so you may contact him and see what's what.

In working condition, that machine commands $325-$350.

With a bad backlight it's anyone's guess...but I'd say under $200.

Do your math... :D
