    hi guys,

    i recently bought a laptop on ebay and its great apart from one annoyance

    if the screen is on anything else other than full brightness, there is a high pitched buzzing noise.
    ive done a little googling on the subject and it seems that would point to some sort of fault in the screen inverter? (power?)

    is that definately the case? could it be something else?
    assuming it is the inverter does it need to be replaced immeadiately? will it last for a while? when/if it goes caput can it take other components with it?
    ive seen one fairly cheap on ebay at the mo, are they easy to fit?
