The backlight of my laptop's LCD-screen (IBM Thinkpad X20, 12.2"-screen) is
defective.
The image is still displayed correctly although very faintly.

I did some research and found out that there are two possible causes for
this:
1) Broken CCFL light bulb
3) Broken inverter

I will start by replacing the light bulb (length +- 250 mm, thickness +- 2
mm).

The following two USA-based (web)shops are selling these components:
- Mouser Electronics
http://www.mouser.com/
- Digi-Key
http://digi-key.com/

=> In order to avoid high shipping costs, I am looking for some Europe-based
(Belgian ?) (web)shops that sell these bulbs to end-users.

Any suggestions ?

Many thanks in advance !

I would not know about Europe. But, these are normally replaced together.
When you look at the shipping costs for these items separately, it will pay
to have them both shipped as one order.
