Clearly not.

So I will bite the bullet and yank off the LCD screen cover, unscrew the 50g, and attempt the repair, which will cost me nothing and perhaps take less than 1 hour in total.

Attempting a repair is one way to go, but it only becomes a solution if you can successfully fix it, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. If you fix it then I'll stand corrected, as that's the most economical solution. You didn't seem so confident based on previous posts.
Please make a post explaining what you see and how you did it, and take pictures of every step for the rest of us.
