I've got a Christie branded plasma screen that is the next project.

Are you sure it actually broke? They have little nubs that sit in sockets, and if you flip them open too hard they'll just pop out. You might be able to snap it back in.
If you are going to toss the set, pull the Y and Z boards and hold on to them. Like I said before, that failure-prone Ysus is used in a lot of TVs, and a working one is handy to have around if you are going to work on more plasma TVs. You could even sell it on ebay (if you are into ebay selling).
