TBH I'm a bit annoyed with myself. Getting it off was troublesome and there was some damage to the circuit board but I wasn't sure whether it was superficial or line damage. (All because there a pinned plastic platform the screen was mounted on, which in turn mounts to the circuit board. I couldn't seem to find on maplin, leading me to believe - against my instinct- maybe I needed to keep it and take the impossible route of desoldering the screen, which is where the board damage came from.)
I eventually found the mounts sold separately and took the whole off the board. Then I mounted the new screen which lit but there was no info and rather than finish and solder it down I shit it and sent it off thinking if it was fucked soldering the new one down would make things worse. Turns out I was doing it fine all along...if only I just took the last step. £117 all in. Meh...it looks ace now.
