Is that backwards? $50 for a dis/reassembly of a laptop display sounds very cheap to me. A backlight tube and/or inverter shouldn't cost $350, but a new LCD panel might. I'd do some work and check to see if they are just quoting a cost of a modular replacement for the LCD panel, and not just the tube/inverter. Just the tube(s) and inverter would cost a lot less than a whole panel, but ht labor would go up. I've pulled tubes before and it does take a lot of disassembly, but they are significantly cheaper to replace.

For all you laptop enthusiasts out there:
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with the back light gone out. I have been quoted $350 for parts and $50 for labor. Would you guys think that this is a fair estimate?
TIA
