I’m not going to post any photos, no point, the laptop screen lens takes light traveling up the screen and diffuses it, instead of directly at it. The light enters the side of a special acrylic lens and turns it into lines of light which the other lenses turn into solid white.
What I have learned from this however is, it’s possible that the backlight might only be 1 or 2 tubes, if it uses the same kind of lens although I doubt this.

I’ll continue with taking apart the monitor today once I have all my other work done for the day.

-Edit-
I forgot to mention this but, for anyone reading, this process should apply to pretty much any monitor if you want to replace the backlight with LEDs, though your experience may vary with how the system deals with a missing or disabled inverter board. In all likelyhood though itle probably just be PWM controlled. Worst case you install a knob with your own controller and use the internal 12v supply.
