The actual fluoruoescent bulb in each display is the same. For that matter, it appears to be the same in every 14" display I have taken apart. It can be removed with a #00 philips screwdriver, you have to take apart the actual metal frame of the LCD. And yes, it's a job that can be done at home. If you can get to the point where the LCD is out of the housing, you can do this too. JSH -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
