dv5 display replacement, really necesary?

Well, I was having problems with the screen, horizontal green lines, flickering, and image ghosts. I asked everywhere, and everybody told me it was the flex, or same loose connection or cable. I sent the notebook to repair and it seems, that the display has a broken connector that can not be fixed, and I have to replace the whole thing, 350us$. My insurance has expired, so, there's no other option than pay.

My post is just to seek some compassion, and to try and feel a bit better, and to know if this is common or not, or someone else had the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

 

well the only other reason is a bad video card...
