I searched eBay, there is one UK seller selling replacement screens for my laptop... so I figured: I try to open my screen , and since I have no experience it will either be a cheap fix or a complete replacement....
It turned out to be a complete replacement LOL but I found in the end the small lamp on top... I did not have to open the whole damn thing, too bad I had not thought earlier to just see where the inverter cables go... lamp was behind a tin shield... live and learn I say
edit: after closer inspection I see I did no real damage in the plastics, I thought I broke them but no
but I still have to fight dust so it won't get trapped inside the panel LOL though now I am puzzled where to get a suitable lamp from...? It is 34cm long (including connectors) and has a diammeter of ~1.8mm , L shaped like this:
