Re: My newly repaired pismo
Howdy: Yup, it's common. We have five Pismos and one of them is exhibiting this problem. I think you can find detailed info. on this problem at either xlr8yourmac.com or macfixit... not sure which. You can purchase a replacement lcd on ebay and do it yourself.

Re: My newly repaired pismo
Couple years back there was discussion of pink LCD problems on some Pismos. Never happened on mine and as far as I could tell while it was real it was not very wide spread. I spose its possible you have one that has that problem, its a direction to look in.
