Continuing my journey of trying to repair the CCFL of my T60
At this point, it's sort of running. If I turn on the laptop with the panel flat on the keyboard, the light will turn on, and from there it's a careful lift from flat into the lid, and if I don't bang anything, it will stay on, but not guarantee to stay on.
So the video cable still could be bad, and I can pull out the vid cable from my other t60, but that's a lot of work I don't really want to do.
So off to source a CCFL. Any recommended places? I'm having trouble finding a suitable non ebay supplier.

Re: Where can I find a quality replacement CCFL?
I suggest you find a T60 banger somewhere and take it apart a few times, using the HMM and making some drawings for screw locations.
Furthermore, there are three sizes of T60, all using different CCFL sizes.

Another option could be to pick up an LED backlight and corresponding inverter from Aliexpress. There is a good seller for them, and Ive put LED backlights from them into 2 T601s now. (both 14.1)
