If you have parts machines, consider replacing the backlight. I took one that was still bright from a cracked display, and transplanted it to one that was very pink, but whole. Remove the display and you'll find a narrow panel on the bottom that is held on with tiny screws. The fluorescent tube just pops out, with the wires attached. Just takes patience and very small screwdrivers...
