Backlight Type?

[toshibahelp]

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite m305-s4910, and the LCD screen is broken. I want to purchase a replacement and fix it, but I need to know the type of backlight. The crooks at Toshiba won't tell me, so can anyone help me?

The way I understand it is, there are three types:

1. 1CCFL
2. 2CCFL
3. LED

Can anyone tell me what type I have?

Thanks a million.

Mike

What exactly is broken? Because first off, I'm not even sure the backlight would even be the problem. It's usually fine, but the inverter or cables going to the backlights go bad. You'd probably be better off finding a replacement screen and swap out the entire thing. If you're trying to purchase through Toshiba, you'd probably end up spending nearly as much as a new laptop would cost.

The screen itself is cracked

The screen itself is cracked. The reason I was wondering about the backlight is that I was under the impression I needed that info to purchase a new LCD. I'm hoping to buy an LCD on the internet, at a fraction of the cost that Toshiba wants.
