As David noted, burnout is very rare. Should it happen, you can replace the LCD yourself with only a screwdriver. Complete replacement instructions are in the P3 assembly manual which you can download from the Elecraft web site if you didn't build yours from a kit. The LCD are, of course, available direct from Elecraft.

Tnx, Ron, just what I was hoping to hear. I usually turn the radio on in the morning, and off in the evening, longer periods only in a contest. Should I be concerned about the backlight? I've only had two burn out, one in a laptop (NEC) and one on a desktop monitor (Dell). I would suppose that the entire display module would have to be replaced.
