POSSIBLE OUTAGE 10/10/2008 - ?

When I came to Mongolia I promised myself that I would not get sick. Unfortunately, "Farmer in the Dell", my usually trusty laptop did not make the same promise. There is a problem with the monitor. It starts up very bright, then almost immediately goes black. The computer is still on and I can make out the screen if I stare very closely with a headlamp on. This is far from ideal however. I am thinking about attempting to repair this myself. It is either a problem with the LCD inverter or the LCD backlight. From what I've read online, it is a very fixable problem.

What do you, the fans, think? Should I:

A) Risk Forever Damaging My Laptop by repairing it myself
B) Risk Forever Damaging My Laptop by having a Mongolian repairman look at it.
C) Suck it up and buy an external monitor (A temporary solution until I return West)
D) Screw the Laptop. This Blog Sucks Anway!
E) Other (Make a suggestion here)
