lionkingcmslDoes anyone know the voltage need to drive a "cold cathode" fluorescent lamp that is used as the backlight for an IBM Thinkpad laptop?
I have an old TP, of which the LCD screen is cracked and unusable. However, the backlight seems to be okay, and I thought it could be the beginning of a "light table", if I could find the voltage for the lamp.

Remember, some of those things run on a pretty high voltage/low current AC power supply, so there can be a shock hazard there.
CYa!
