But seriously, if you have 2 broken consoles you really have nothing to lose by trying to cobble together a good one.

Just be careful to minimise the possibility of static damage when you mess around with the boards.
I know it's hard to do if you don't have the proper grounding gear
I probably won't even bother. And mine was beginning to need a new top screen even before it started refusing to power on. I forgot about that, so this actually isn't the first problem it's had in the recent past.

I got it used last February though. And of course there's no way of knowing how long the previous owner had it, for all I know it's had a good, long life.
