Yes. My IBM laptop backlight finally quit, so I got a new laptop. It was
under warrantee, so someone else will inherit it when it's fixed. It
gradually got dimmer, but was still usable until it started flickering. Then
it shut off completely. I don't know if it was the backlight itself or the
power supply for it.
