Since the screens are edge connected to the housing, it sounds like it's
the connector (although this thought is only valid in this case if the
connector is on the left hand edge- I'm remembering some terrible old thing
ages ago...)

I also remember that the connector was a bit of a sod and very hard (in
that case read "impossible") to fix. But if you've nothing to lose it's the
best bet.

So if you have decided to change the screen and you can't get a cheaper
source, try a repair shop first. There is a place at the top end of North
End Road in London that will tackle odd Mac jobs and did so for a friend of
mine; if that would be any use to you (I don't know where you live) I'll
look up the name and phone number.
