I recently had very good luck fixing an LCD.
With careful inspection with a microscope I found corrosion on the
traces that drive the LCD from a particular driver.
The corrosion was right under the rubber conducting gasket. I
disassembled the LCD, removed the gasket, carefully repaired the
traces, reassembled and voila all good.
I have had very poor luck re-assembling M100 LCDs into a workable
state. My experience has been that the zebra strips never make good
contact again once they've been removed from the PCB; they deform over
the years to take the imprint of the copper pads such that they are not
smooth anymore. I periodically fantasize about finding a company that
can manufacture new zebras for the M100 (similar to how new PC1/PC3
LCDs were recently manufactured by Robert B.)
Am I in the minority?
