You mean it wasn't inspired by this?

BARTPA needs more tasks like this.

I think you were right that boogie boards should go on the top. Note how most boats have a V-shaped hull; this provides stability.

Aternatively, you could use an outrigger.

Nicely done!

Did you inspect the connection from the cable to the LCD? I imagine there's a somewhat fragile set of solder joints there.

Any clue what the cause of the problem was? Was the screen bent out of shape, and you're distorting it back, or are you distorting it out of shape slightly to make it work?

There is some chance this is a cracked solder joint. That might well cause failures not unlike you describe. I've taken a soldering iron to a motherboard a couple times, once to replace some failing capacitors and once in a vain attempt to fix a broken voltage regulator circuit. I suppose a laptop screen might be finer work, but usually connectors and the like aren't too bad to solder properly if you good eyes and steady hands.
