awsome!! got the shields off!! thanks for yer help. Just waiting on a few capacitors to arrive. Gonna replace one by one and then assemble, test, reassemble etc.
I hope this pays off because I read in some threads on other forums that I might have a burnt out backlight or a bad transformer etc. I really hope I can fix this by just doing a capacitor swap. we will see.
This guy "thesteve" has figured out some awesome stuff on the express. He and I came up with the switchless region mod chip for the express / gt, and now he's gone on to figure out an effective screen swap and a/v out.
Look in this thread for some shots of the screen mod:
