With all the RF shields and fragile wiring harnesses in one display I 
examined internally and did get working for a bit, I say it depends upon 
your patience and if you can deal with fragile components fairly well. 
The surface mounted components need special tool to remove. Also unless 
you have good schematics and tools, it would be a shot in the dark at best.
