The pink screen is the backlight failing. It happens to all Pismos in time. Is the other symptoms that are the real mystery.
I have replaced a Pismo logic board before --or was it actually a Lombard's?--, but the idea of fiddling with those delicate cables is unnerving, to say the least. I haven't closed the lid in days, and everything is OK so far. Is when I close and reopen it that things go haywire. You're right, it could be either the video chip or the display cable, since kernel panics tend to signal that something is going on with the hardware. Maybe it's time to think about replacing the old beast altogether.
