I don't think anyone coluld even dream about fixing a bad LCD signal board...
That's the digital revolution for you... it's all about crappy disposable miniaturized SMD cards, flimsy flat wires, junky chinese chipsets, brittle silver painted plastic cabinets and so on... nothing that fits in my home...

Hi horseman!
Actually, in my opinion, LCDs are good devices for computers, but LCD in my Compaq Presario laptop from 2004 is not so bright than a new one... 
But...
Is there an high voltage device in it?
There are only some LEDs, i think.
