Update -
I went looking to buy another display off ebay, and on one of the product descriptions read something like... "the LCD may become separated from the PCB in shipment. Pressing down on the metal frame will restore function." So, not having anything to loose, I tried it. I pushed the PCD and the LCD together with my fingers and bent the little tabs over with a pair of pliers. My display is working now!!
