I tried to just replace my screen that was spotchy and the 1st screen I bought was too wide
The second screen fit but I damaged the ribbon cable to the screen
3 cables later I got one that was close
The lower screw holes that hold the clam shell together are broken because of the 1st screen
The small white wire got cut somehow and I tried to solder it but I failed to mark left or right since I thought 1 had markings all the way down.
The screen is still blank and I am DONE TRYING TO FIX IT.
Who is reputable to do this repair and not charge me more than this POS is worth?

I went through some of that myself. Got a new screen, installed it, but damaged one of the ribbon cables. Got replacements. Fixed the problem. Problem now is that the viewing angle is wrong. It's a Sharp replacement with the same part number, but the viewing angle is off. I'm trying now to figure out if one of the screws on the back of the screen adjusts the viewing angle. Given the cost of a new screen and paying someone to repair it, you might be better off putting in an aftermarket replacement head unit. There's lots of them out there and they offer a significant upgrade in usability. I'm contemplating this option now.
