I never know how to answer "What the heck?"

For your laptop that lost its backlight, the problem could be the driver circuit. I had to replace one of these on an HP laptop. I ordered it direct from HP (about $40) and installed it myself.

Much existing software will work near Vista, but this must be answered on a case by overnight case basis. Microsoft's website have resources concerning this as well as the vendor's website of the software within question.

I'm suspicious to go the Vista route after reading this:
