PBs Lombard and Pismo display housings are different but the LCDs inside

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.

The LCD screens in Lombards and Pismos are different. The Lombard uses a -124, while the Pismo has a -127. The connector is in a different place, about a quarter-inch off. The LCD will work in either one, but there is some stress on the flex cable.
