Backlight Inverter Toshiba A215

[LappiUser]

Hello,

I got Toshiba satellite_A215-S7413. All I got to see is its battery consumption is really heavy. This ages battery earlier. The culprits are 1) Processor 2) Wireless Card 3) CCFL Backlite.

I Working on processor means making bios upgrade for processor. then finding low power equivalent for existing. The processor needs to match even the existing connector slot.

Wireless card: for the moment very little can be done about this too.

So I concentrated on Backlite which consumes nearly 11-12W ( I have seen some lappis need only 14W for complete function).I am thinking of replacing CCFL with LED and design the necessary control circuit for this.

But my current obstacle is I dont know the protocol of communication with inverter card for brightness control and Pin configuration on inverter connector.

Is anybody here aware where will I find it?

Why dont you try replacing the inverter then because it is not that hard but if you are looking into replacing the backlight, I suggest you have it done by a pro and another consideration is to replace the LCD assembly instead. If you have successfully removed the inverter, check the part number. Using the part number may help you 'Google' for suppliers near your area. Also try eBay.
