There also prone to the ribbon cable & joints failing but yours sounds good.
Both very common issues with this display.
Need to be skilled with a soldering iron to fix it.

If you know someone skilled with electronics repair ask if they will get there soldering iron out for you.
Its normally just dry solder joints BUT if your not skilled it's easy to damage the unit.
