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

Those are good specs for an R40.

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

eBay...I believe the seller is called LCDs4less or something like that...

Google is your best friend here... :D
