Hey guys.. I was just googling looking for info on my clamshell and found this thread. Strange to find it on a 68K mac forum. But anyway, I just received a blueberry clamshell that I paid nearly nothing for. It works, but the backlight has a pink color to it for the first several minutes of use. After a while it turns white but if the monitor goes into dim-mode or shuts off due to the screensaver for even a few seconds, it is pink again when it lights up.

I am sure this is the backlight tube as I have seen regular compact fluorescent lights in my house due this. I was thinking of replacing the tube. I found one website showing a decent instructional on doing this. But I was also wondering how feasable it would be to replace the tube with LEDs. I was wondering if anyone has tried or thought of that.
