Hi, I just love G3 Powerbooks for their design and sentimental values. Thinking about getting Pismo for little processor consuming tasks. I noticed it's rather hard to find a PB with a decent, crisp and bright screen, as LCD becomes yellowish over the time (my poor Wallstreet is an example). Is there any way you can reverse forementioned effect?
In the Pismo, the screen aging is often described as 'pink' (Dunno - I'm somewhat color blind).
From what I have read, this phenomenon is due to degradation of the fluorescent backlight. It can be replaced, but the instructions I have read are not trivial, and the backlight tube itself is quite fragile:
