They are easy to replace on the IIFX, only a couple to fix and they have nice big pads - not like on the laptop LCD's at all!
I just got a PB165 that has almost the same issue as Massiverobot's - backlight, but no screen drawing (not a brightness/contrast issue). On this one, the HD works to boot the machine (using the display adapter, shows the desktop on another monitor) so I am glad for that. I am looking forward to refurbishing it (caps, pram battery, hinges, mouse rollers - the works).
