Hi John,

I had a similar problem with my T21. In my case, the brightness was  
restored when I applied pressure to the base of the lcd and then dimmed  
again once I removed my hand.
I replaced the lcd cable without any result. I think at the end they  
replaced a board that is located behing the lcd (not the inverter card) to  
fix the problem.
I think your problem might be (approx) the same with mine - the LCD and  
not motherboard.. Have a look at this  
(http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-4PEHK3.html) and I think  
you should pay a visit to your local dealer.

Hope this helps and good luck
