Well there is a way to repair it on your own but it usually doesn't last. Put your clothing iron on Cotton and put a piece of paper over the ribbon of cable running from the computer board to the LCD screen and iron it. The heat from the iron rebonds the connections, but as soon as it gets hot or humid out again they come apart again. If you're willing to spend the money get it done right. If you want to try the iron approach for yourself type into google: "SID Panel Repair." They have you use a ballpoint pen on the contacts which I tried and made the screen lose more pixels so just follow their instructions and pictures to take it apart and then use the iron technique. Good luck.
