I would suppose the lcd is attached to a board using ribbon cables. If you can find a parts donor or a compatible lcd from another model it shouldn't be too hard to do.
Sometimes lcd's in digital cameras quit working too. Usually if it is a black screen it's toast, if it's a white screen it can be fixed. You can take the ribbon cables out of the board, clean them with 90% iso alcohol and reseat them. That may bring it back to life. Just remember to look at the ribbon block (where the ribbon cable attaches to the board), it may have a small latch to lift before pulling the cable out.
