Electronic – How to power a LCD Backlight inverter (got from a disasembled LCD screen)

connectorinverterlcdwiring

I have two LCD Backlight Inverters lying around here and I want them to powerup without using any laptop part / motherboards.

I want to power it by using a simple power source, I have both AC and DC transformers available in the 5V to 24V range.

Here are more pictures of the CCFL's I got: http://gz.pxf24.pl/inverter.html

Thanks in advance for your time, effort and help!

If anyone knows how to do the wiring/connecting I will be really happy.

Finally got it working thanks to the answer below, here is a picture:

If you want to connect it acording to the picture in the answer, you need to look at the BACK of the inverter and connect the following together:

1,2,6 to + , all others to -, take an adapter which is exactly 4.5 volts DC.

UPDATE 2:

I experimented a bit and only 2 needs to be connected to the + and 4,5 need to be connected to – and that's enough to get this running!

However no joy for the other inverter, maybe it's broken.

You need the find the specs for that particular P/N. They are not universal. You can buy CFL tubes from Digikey for $5 or so. 1.5mm or 2mm probably by x mm long.

For example here is a T-Y interface spec. click image to open PDF file.

That looks like this. enter image description here
