Hmmm, interesting day trying to find something to do... I read here IIRC that someone had W2k running on a 50, and I had a spare disc lying around, so I thought, what the hell, I'd see how it went on the 70. Stuffed the disc into the desktop and built the W2k there, expecting to have to find a lot of things to change on the lib but not believing that the install would work in 32M. Unfortunately, although it booted fine on the desktop, on the lib it starts and then restarts the system. Ungood. This it does on any of the start options, including safe mode prompt only. I would have tried the installation again actually in the lib, but I'd converted the file system to NTFS so of course I can't see it when booting from a 98 floppy :) So having got bored with that, I rummaged in the loft to fish out a dead screen and see what's inside it. Here's the good news - if you're very very careful, you can remove the flourescent light. The bad news is that the circuit is fabbed on the glass substrate and the power leads to the lamp are flaming well glued to the components. You *must* cut away the glue with extreme care before you try and remove it. On the whole, I'd say that if you're not absolutely desparate, swapping the lamp and/or lcd display is a no-no. Changing the unit as a whole is no great problem though.
