Anyone know of a source for the two hole plug that's attached to the lcd backlight on a A30-A31 thinkpad ?

just cut off that plug from any old broken/cracked LCD that no longer works.

So buy one. Seriously, on a whim I sold a broken LCD on eBay and it went for a few cents, plus $8 shipping. Dunno if anybody sells the broken backlight by itself (working ones are like $20) to make the shipping cheaper but I'm sure there're plenty of broken LCDs.

Also, most LCDs use the same two pronged pink/white connector, I don't know if Thinkpads also use the common one as well though.
