[Elecraft] P3 burn-in concerns?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

As David noted, burnout is very rare. Should it happen, you can replace the
LCD yourself with only a screwdriver. Complete replacement instructions are
in the P3 assembly manual which you can download from the Elecraft web site
if you didn't build yours from a kit. The LCD are, of course, available
direct from Elecraft.

Tnx, Ron, just what I was hoping to hear.
I usually turn the radio on in the morning, and off in the evening, longer
periods only in a contest.

Should I be concerned about the backlight? I've only had two burn out, one
in a laptop (NEC) and one on a desktop monitor (Dell).
I would suppose that the entire display module would have to be replaced.
