Home fix for busted RX100

Believe it or don't, I've had my RX100 bitten by a pit bull. You can see little teeth indentations on the front (thank you non-plastic body) but on the back she made contact with the LCD and it's toast. The camera still takes pictures so I'm hoping only the LCD is broken.
Anyway, Sony tells me it will cost $299 plus tax to fix and in their judgment it's not worth fixing. (! - they must be anticipating a large price drop with the Mark II coming.) I see I can buy a replacement LCD from Amazon or Ebay for $90. Has anyone had experience with a DIY LCD replacement? I think it's worth risking the $90, but ....
