Yes, I haven't found them to be much help. They are pretty vague.
Did Apple not provide actual schematics for these machines?
These are basically swap-out guides for line of sales staff. For example most LCD displays can be repaired, recaped, etc. The guide simply locates the problem assembly and swaps it out for another. That's not actually repair.
And of course get swap out assemblies for this old a machine may be troublesome! (though I believe there lot Casio LCD MD800TT10-C1's out there, even new.
I am suspicious of the cables and contacts. Plastic parts this old are crumbling. It's a shame, because I know this machine is booting normally, though with no display.
Anyway, I did disassemble the display, and did not see any obviously bad elements. Will have to meter test the caps. The back-light is operating normally.
