Ouch, that would also cause it to not work
Replacing the LCD is not hard at all on the 700, I've done it a few times. But, you might want to add some epoxy to the mounting holes before reseating the screws that hold the assembly on. The plastic there is not too strong and adding some epoxy seems to strengthen it. I've now got a couple of 700's that have that repaired that have been going strong for the last 7 or 8 years.
