Thanks for the various suggestions to my original post.
Two question: (1) How do I access the display on this model?
(2) Assuming I don't want the expense of a new board and
that I lack the expertise to perform some of the procedures
listed above, what's one "simple" fix I might be lucky enough
to encounter when I get a look at the display? Dust on the
ribbon, haha. Thanks.



You might have some luck wedging something between the display and the
board to put pressure on the ribbon, hunk of styrofoam or something.
Never seen inside that model so I can't offer specific help though.
