“Cheers! And don’t open the beer bottles with your teeth! Let your kids do it for you =)”

Eh?

not a h4x lol

Whatever. It’s a cool idea, something that probably a lot of people would never have thought of. AND, it recycles trashed gear. If nothing else, there’s a landfill somewhere that will be very slightly less empty thanks to this guy’s reappropriation of that light. jussi saarijoki, Captain Planet and the Planeteers salute you!

work > reward, price > alternatives, result < alternatives == must be a good hack

I’ve done this before. To be honest I was quite proud of myself after completing it. I would deem it quite hackaday worthy.

And props to the slides and negatives idea, thats very clever.

#9, Is that possible with a broken screen I wonder….

#5, i’ve been doing that with my PalmIIIc for years :-P

It’s a great hack, those CCFL’s put out a decent amount of light, and with a brightness control it’s even more flexable.

And also: to anyone what questions it;
From dictionary.com
1. Originally, a quick job that produces what is
needed, but not well.

This hack fits it to the letter (no offence ;))

#13, ccfl’s have no real beef with being turned off and on. Have you never seen the flashing/sound controlled ccfl kits? I don’t doubt theres *some* extra stress from it, but it’s not major.

great hack!
If you don’t have a kid that breaks LCD monitors, you can still use your working monitor to give white light.

Just make a JPG image whose background is WHITE and switch to FULL screen viewing of the image.

or you could just open powerpoint and press f5.

Quick and easy working-screen light:

open MSPAINT (oldschool but serves the quick purpose), then press these combinations in series:

PrintScreen
Shift+Insert (or Ctrl+V)
Delete
Ctrl+F

The result is a full screen of white. Just click your mouse or hit alt+f4 to close it.

Is that a new way? I can be sensitive about my forward cattle Oh, good joke) Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the opossum it could be done.
