LCD Display problem

Dell Inspiron 4000. Five years old. Windows XP home edition O.S.
Having difficulty with display. The picture wobbles and is badly distorted. When I press the back of the display and manipulate it I can get the picture back – but this is getting harder and harder to do. I have replaced the display flex cable connector, but this makes do difference. The problem seems to be with the display itself. Obviously I need to replace it. But I am in Africa at the moment and cannot do so for some months. I have instructions for removing the Display Assembly, the Assembly Bezel, removing the LCD panel, etc. And have carried out all these operations successfully. But the problem remains. Is there anything further I can to to adjust or repair the display unit. What exactly is ‘inside’ the unit and what might be causing my problem. I don’t mind trying as I have the use of an alternative desktop monitor. Would be grateful for advice.

There are near me and I'm in Miami! I hear theme very morning getting feed.

There should be one or two circuit boards near the LCD, one of them might be going bad... when you press the case is if directly behind the lcd or the corners?

Problem solved - Display now working right

I seem to have solved the problem. Using the 'Removing and Replacing Parts' Guide I took a serious look inside the display. I noticed one very small ribbon connector was a little loose. The clip seemed not to be operating properly. I disconnected it, cleaned the connection points, connected it and re-set the clip. Lo and behold it is working perfectly since.
