LCDs are often super easy to fix! Do it! The common failure modes are usually backlight or backlight driver failure, and power supply failure. The backlight driver can usually be replaced wholesale, the backlights themselves can easily be replaced, and the PSU often fails because of bad capacitors releasing their magic smoke. I've fixed many LCDs because of bad capacitors! You just want to make sure that the capacitor failed because it was old and not because something else shorted it out (i.e. there isn't some other issue).
