Remember this sites name? It is possible to replace the LVDS cable and hinges. But I agree - not an easy task. I did this a few times and glued the display casing back together using cyanacrylat.

The most difficult part of the job is fiddelin' the LVDS through the gap in the bottom case since the cable is really fragile.
