The TDK TBD420NR CCFL inverter is found in many laptop screens. I've found it in an HP Pavillon DV9500.

LCD screens with CCFL backlight are prone to failures and  you are often in doubt if it is an inverter or CCFL lamps failure.
So it is very useful to have a way to live check the inverter before ordering a new one just to discover that the failure is elsewhere.
