Dead Laptop back light

It is a Gateway. What happens is this: everything is practically black on the screen, sort of like if you put it on a really dim setting, like dimmer than would be practical for anybody to actually use. The Geek Squad Guy seemed to think a new, expensive backlight was the ticket. By good with electronics, what do you mean? I can solder stuff, but like I said, if I get my dick caught in the zipper on this I won't be heartbroken. This comp is about 6 years old.

How would I do the screen swap?
