dv 172 repair?

[johnnys]

Mitsubishi's repairer quotes $200+ for repairing/replacing faulty board. Can anybody enlighten me about the possibility of doing the job myself or of getting spare parts (circuit board - the display itself has no faults).
Otherwise it seems a better option to buy a new display.
Thanks for comments/advice

Does anybody know how to open the case? I have rfemoved all visible screws but can't get the back cover off.

To open DV172 monitor case, it needs to

1) remove 4 bolts keeping monitor stand.
2) remove stand pulling for the body of the stand.
3) then remove 5 screws from a cover.
4) open plastic locks around the cover.
5) open the cover.

That's it.
