Or if you're game, here's the alternative solder points I used (higher difficulty) USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

BV LCD - GG (VA0 2ASIC ONLY)
SMS - R31 LHS
CLK - FB1 / JUNCTION OF R13 AND R14
GROUND - TOP OF RHS FUSE
RES - IC3 PIN 51
D0 - C61 TOP
D3 - C60 TOP
D2 - C62 LHS
D1 - C59 TOP
CL2 - IC3 PIN 46
5V - C6 +VE SIDE
1 - C30 RHS
2 - C24 BOTTOM
3 - C25 TOP
4 - N/C
BRIGHTNESS - C39 +VE SIDE

Either way, don't forget to remove the old LCD, fuses, L2 coil and jumper T10 to T11
