No, it’s an inverter, supplies power to the backlight.

Wall current in most countries is 220 volts/50 hertz.That could be the issue.Either that or it allows you to view Hussein's Kenyan birth certificate.

An inverter is a stepping and converting device. It converts DC to AC using it’s own on board oscillator. 50 or 60 Hz supplied power isn’t an issue. It increases (steps) and then decreases the voltage, as needed, to cause the gas in the bulb first to radiate, or “ignite”, and then glow at a controlled rate.

So, the same inverter will work in any Country, because it converts, regulates and conditions it’s own power.

My guess: No FCC certification.

Too late. It’s installed and lappy is all closed up. Besides, it’s not mine, it’s a customer’s. LOL

Let us know if the customer's pacemaker or TV go haywire from RFI, k?

(LOL-the spelling nazi’s got to me!)

LOL, the spelling nazi's what got to you? Were you intending to form a plural instead of a possessive? *\;^) Hint: "one Nazi" is "Nazi", "many Nazis" is "Nazis", if a Nazi owns something it's "Nazi's", if many Nazis own something it's "Nazis'".

Yer weccum.

You're correct. I've gotten sloppy in my old age. But, at least I still know the difference between Then and Than! and Effect and Affect LOL Thanky.

I think it’s a part manufactured by agreement with Dell that it will not be sold in the USA, because Dell wants to sell its parts at a higher price.

I think you happened on to a bit of black market there, and the eBay reseller forgot to take the label off.

I recently replaced a cracked LED screen on my laptop and I had it come from Canada at about half the cost of what it is local in the US. But there was no label indicating not for sale here as you experienced.
