Hi Neil Thanks for the tip on the memory. I pulled it and it solved my problems. Interesting the memory passed every diagnostic test I ran on it. Maybe I have a bad socket. I already ran a search on the archives and didn't find the info I need. It doesn't hurt to rehash old info anyway. The lcd will work as a reflective it just needs to be modified properly- in its present state it is transmissive so of course won't work when the backlight dies. Nothing to reflect light. Parts are no problem- I can get or have everything I need to mess with the lcd. I modified a reflective lcd to add a backlight and I have plenty of parts left over. If something is broken or dies just buy a new one!!!!
