Has anyone ever done, or contemplated doing, a TurboExpress / GT White LED Mod?
i.e. replace the (CCFL?) which illuminates the screen, with some white LEDs, a la Ben Heck portable TV White LED mod..
Why?? for battery consumption reasons..
Thoughts, issues...?
Interesting idea - how much difference would it make on run time; 20 minutes wouldn't really be worth the effort, but 2 hours would be awesome. A LED mod and/or a replacement LCD would be mighty tempting upgrade for the ol' Express.
A total LCD replacement would make the darned thing fully worthwhile.

Hmmm.. I'm not entirely sure.
Whats the normal running time of a TE/GT? I suppose it depends on the batteries too.
I think that the (CCFL?) inside, is probably fairly inefficient, since it was produced so long ago..

Is that really possible?
I have the feeling a replacement (with the additional circuitry that these things have..) wouldn't fit in the TE/GT case..
