Out of curiousity, what is the symptoms of a "badly misaligned" display?
I have an M100 which is showing nothing but a couple of big bars and some
random video noise. From typing blind I can tell it is not a CPU problem.
Part of the reason I ask is that this particular system may have taken a
bang or two, though there is no obvious damage.

The interconnection
between actual LCD glass and the PCB is not that hard to take apart
to clean and easy to align together and screw them back together?
I had a badly misaligned T200 display that I attempted to realign...
realignment is not as easy as it would seem, and yet on my 3rd attempt it
was *perfectly* aligned. I had all of the tabs twisted back with decent
pressure and it was still holding... then, alas, the *last* tab broke, and
it was close to a corner, easily wiping out 10-15% of the display. It was
already a lost cause so there was nothing to lose, but I speak from
experience -- it's tough to bring these LCD's back from the dead.
