Hello Simon.  First off if you can still read data on display the 
inverter is working and all you need is a foil change.  If you would 
like one precut and ready to replace, all that is involved is 
removing cover, then display board, unsolder 2 contact wires, slide 
out old, slide in new, connect and replace board on cover.  Search 
out articles named "elfoil or backlight" in this sites posts for 
more details. Also photos in technical will help.  BTW Telesis is a 
good source for precut elfoil.   Doug (EII with bright blue 
backlight)
