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?
I'm no repairman, but $350 sounds pretty high for the work that's involved.
I replaced the inverter in my Inspiron 8600 just last year. I bought the inverter from Hypertech<I think>, it was about $45. It's very simple to replace if you can take the display apart. I actually replaced the bulb first w/o luck, it took a little more work though.
