Nokia 8850 screen/display problem

My 8850 has recently been experiencing screen/display problems and now it's
gone bad. The screen use to freeze every so often and to fix it I could
switch the phone off or press around the screen. Now the screen displays
nothing. Backlight still works fine. If I want to see what's on the screen I
have to press on the screen or around the earpiece - I have to keep my thumb
down to keep the display.

Is this problem easy to fix on my own or do I need to take it to a shop to
repair? Also any guide on how to dismantle the phone and what replacement
parts will I need?

Thanks,
Dave

Something like this will do the job:
