John,

If the part costs $500, I don't know how you could get it repaired for $100! Good luck.

Hi Wayne:

Recently I had a problem with my PX3. The VFO A cursor bar was black instead
of green and some other artifacts. Elecraft support said it was probably the
LCD and I would have to replace the front panel board and LCD at a cost of
over $500. I consequently bought a used PX3 at much less than $500. I still
have the PX3 with the "defective LCD". I would still like to get it repaired
if it's around $100 or so. :-)

It's a good thing it's under warranty. A screen from Elecraft parts is

Hi John,

Reliability of the PX3 front panel circuit board and LCD is extremely high
(ditto with the P3). We do get an occasional request for LCD replacement,
usually after the PX3 has been operated portable and sustained damage in
transport.

The bezel (~$21 replacement cost) usually takes the brunt of the damage.
If a new LCD is required, it's ~$100. Replacement instructions can be
found in the PX3 Owners Manual.

I don’t think we’ve ever had to replace an entire PX3 front panel module.
We could repair it in virtually any scenario short of grizzly attack.
