I currently have an Acer Extensa 4420-5239 (Info Here --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115497 ) Anyways, my backlight went out. I found out that it was the backlight not the inverter with a multi-meter and went ahead and bought a backlight. Anyways, long story short...

the backlight is 8 bucks.. the entire LCD would be a lot more..

yeah.. the thing is i'm getting the OS for free regardless... If it doesn't slow my computer down, I think I'm going to go for Ultimate.. I take it that it takes more HD space though

same here.. I actually bought my sister the acer aspire.. Don't expect to be running big processes off of it but if you keep it maintained, (cleaning temp, registry, etc.) it's a nice computer

and how do you test your inverter.. EDIT: Hey just found this great site.. Hopefully this will work to test my inverter http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2009/05/04/how-test-lcd-screen-inverter-in-laptop/ Any comments?

.. I already got the backlight and it should be comming in soon. The backlight was 7.00$ with shipping and handling so I didn't spend too much at all. So you guys think it would be the inverter?? How would I go about switching that.. Since i already ordered the backlight and it should be...

so one more question.. One or the other (Ultimate or home , etc.) won't slow down my computer in any way? In other words, my computer performance won't change due to the type of windows 7 i choose to install?

so the computer's speed would decrease if I were to say, install x64 with a computer wiht 2GB of ram?

Windows 7 Enterprise vs Windows 7 Home Basic vs Windows 7 Home vs Windows 7 Home Premium vs Windows 7 Professional vs Windows 7 Ultimate Which one would be the fastest OS for a computer with 2.3 GHz and 2 GB of ram... Does it matter/?? Will the windows 7 Ultimate perform slower than the...

Not the screen, the backlight. It costs 20x more to replace the entire screen vs the backlight. I can still see everything on the screen, but there is no light! If i look really closely at my screen, I can see that everything is still functional. Thus, I figure it is my backlight. I know that...

why yes it did! lol thanks. After doing some other research and reading this, I think I'm just going to upgrade the RAM if anything at all to this computer. The thing that I need to do with this laptop however is replace the backlight. I've never done this before and am worried that I'll ruin...

I have an Acer Extensa 4420 (Model#MS2211) I want to change this processor to a faster one; I just want to know what will be compatible and any tips on how to do this. Also, if that's not possible, any tips on overclocking this processor??

Has anyone here actually done the job? Put a laptop together from scratch??

I want to use this processor: Intel Core i5-750 2.66GHz http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/200745 I think this one is just for desktops; I thought I saw something a few days ago about one for a laptop...

yep.. It definitely is.. About a year ago, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the parts for the laptop, but it's not too difficult nowadays. You want to search for a 'barebones' laptop. most of these come with a processor already in them but some of them don't. I think...
