Macro Photography Light Source Using Cold Cathode Lights

Step 2 Locate a broken lcd panel

Locate an LCD screen that still faintly lights up, but is otherwise non-functional. If the screen does not light at all, it is most likely suffering from a worn out CCFL or inverter. In this case, you can try to purchase a replacement inverter or tube, but typically this is fairly expensive.

Broken LCD screens can be found on EBay. Look for 15"-17" monitors.
