'''It's very difficult to replace just the CFL bulb without damaging the rest of the display''' as you have to strip it completely down to pieces.
BTW ''you don't have to buy the complete cover, and or frame assembled'' once you get the old display apart ''on the back there's size and type information that will let you order a brand new replacement LCD online'' depending upon the size a new LCD should cost less than $100 for a 12 or 13" CFL ''probably what's in a machine that old.''
