DONT call cheap Illuminators you tape onto your calc backlights. Read 
the word BACK-LIGHT, to light from the back. It works great and I don't 
appreciate the cheapest guaranteed to work REAL backlight being compared 
to a mini flashlight with tape. Your device is an illuminator and mine 
is a backlight. You can do the job yourself for much cheaper than $30, 
but I take most of that money and save it so If I ever do screw up a 
calc, I can replace it, free of charge to the customer. It's called 
insurance. If you want to do the job yourself, consider about $12 for 
the proper LEDs (must be high brights), a couple bucks for the 
plexiglass to be cut and some sand paper. You'll need a switch and 
either a fixed or a variable resistor. That can add up to over or at 
least near $20 if you don't buy in bulk like I do.

You must have a very nice illuminator for your screen, but you don't 
have a 100% internal backlight.

Besides, what if you dropped your calc and your tape tore off!!!


>>I made a light that i taped to my calculator and said it was backlit,
