any one know where to get a new display that wont bleed me dry?
Due to the nature a Game Gear screen attaches, a ribbon directly soldered to the mainboard, replacing it requires a soldering iron and some fairly advanced technique.
This guide, titled “Sega Game Gear Screen Replacement”, only takes us to the point you remove the ribbon. There is much work left.
so, uh, is there a more comprehensive version somewhere?

Does the screen get fixed at the end?
