PBs Lombard and Pismo display housings are different but the LCDs inside are almost certainly interchangable. Rather than tear apart an LCD for the BL, wouldn't it be easier to just switch the LCDs, yes? And since you mention the *cough*manuals*/cough*, note that none contain any instruction on how to open and operate on an LCD's guts.
Alternatively, source a new BL CCFL bulb, typical cost is $10 - $20 for the part. Hmmmmm, I seem to remember folks recommending a supplier named JKLamps or similar. Anyone have a CCFL source they can recommend? Keep in mind, if you have _any_ doubts about replacing the BL bulb yourself, it's probably best to not do it. LCD panels are a very fragile and it's oh-so-easy to ruin an otherwise working display. hth, Dan K ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
