Most modular components in modern electronics (the LCD, ect) have friction fit plugs on the ends of a PC board type ribbon cable. So if you can get to it, it's a pretty easy swap. In the case of the digicams I've played with, these were units that friends asked me to look at and weren't going to be too concerned if I screwed them up further. My comment related more to getting the camera apart. There is always one hidden screw or some clip somewhere that makes it seem impossible to get the thing apart. Look for the less obvious places like inside the battery compartment
.. Watch out for things like Springs and such too. Just don't take it apart any further than you need to in order to fix it.
Short of offering to do the repair (with camera and parts supplied), That's about the best I have for you..
