I checked that one out, but I don't trust myself with a steam iron. So I used a soldering iron (don't do this) and DESTROYED the ribbon cable. Then I went on ebay and bought three separate displays. The first one came in today with ONE bad vertical line near the middle. I tried stuffing a straight piece of foam on the PC board ribbon end to no avail. I removed the foam and dragged the side of a flat-tipped screwdriver bit across the connection, several times, like I was sealing a sticky envelope or Priority Mail box with my fingernail. Voila! Pixel column back, next a tiny 12v bulb from Radio Shack, and it's back to 100% (for now).
