Hi, Carlos, I recently replaced the broken display in my Lombard with a Pismo screen - the inverse to your problem. No problems noted here, but you'll have to be careful of the built-in airport antenna on your Pismo. I've seen some warnings about the screen from a Pismo not lasting as long in a Lombard due to (I think) the way the cables are threaded through the clutches. Just be careful, and I think it will work for you. Also, you'll probably want to also get the original foam support for the display you're taking from the Lombard - it may not have the same cutout areas as your original. I'd suggest (if you don't already have one) picking up the Pismo service manual in pdf format. Very good, concise instructions for every possible part replacement operation. Email me off-list if you need more specifics. . .
