<< Anyway, the other day, I managed to drop my 2300c and
 promptly freaked out. Much to my relief, the LCD did not crack. I powered
 it on and the screen was garbled. It looks like there are about 8 different
 copies of the screen image on the LCD, all centered differently.  >>

Just to hazard a guess, I'd say either a broken edge on the LCD or the cable 
came unseated on the display itself (internal to the display 
frame....disassemble the housing, trace the cable to the connectors and see 
if they've come loose).  I did have one display that actually had a bad LCD 
interface card (this is the card which attaches physically to the 
display...NOT easy to fix!!) and had to get the SMD solder station out to 
swap chips.  NOT for the faint of heart or shakey of hand (then Austin, what 
the bloody hell were you doing it for....?!?!?!).  There are three (four??) 
connectors internal to the display...check 'em all before swapping displays.  

Hope this helps!
