It was one of those "oh no, I can't believe I just did that" moments. This big crack appeared across the screen, and everything above the screen was visable, and everything below it...... a mess.
I've lost the backlight or the inverter (or maybe more). It's like trying to read a novel by the light of fireworks.
Personally, being a cheap bastard, I hope to pick up a T22 Thinkpad off of eBay for about $200, give or take.
