Been there, done that--and even depopulated the inverter section on one
PCB (badly designed--capacitors hot-glued to heatsinks, that sort of
thing) and replaced it with a cheap "universal" CFL inverter. Still
works fine.
Strangely, I don't see nearly as many junked LCD displays today as I did
5 years ago for some reason.
