Take it to an authorized repair shop. The back light can be changed but it is mighty difficult and is [b][i]VERY[/i][/b] fragile. So, either swap out the entire LCD screen (mucho $$$ if you can find one), swap out the back light, use an external monitor, or get a new laptop.

These Backlights are full of Mercury as well so if you break one you need to be in a well ventilated room with quick easy retreat to get he hell out to prevent Mercury Contamination of yourself.

While one Backlight will not give you Mercury Poisoning it will contaminate you and as the Heavy Metals like this can not be removed from your body as they settle in Fat Tissue they will build up over enough time to eventually poison you.

Currently the only known way to remove Heavy Metals from the Human Body is for Lactating Females to Breast Feed. Some of the Heavy Metals will be removed from the body in the Breast Milk.

This is something you want to be very cautious of breaking. ;)
