Damaged netbook screen

My three year old daughter thought she would emulate her mother and carry the latter's Eee PC 1000H netbook around the house. We found out when we heard the "thump" as it was dropped on to the floor.

Whilst the machine still works, the screen is covered in blue vertical marks that look like they were drawn with a felt tip pen; imagine a "splodge" where felt tip meets paper and then a consistent thin line and you've got the picture. With the machine switched off it is still possible to see the lines as faint grey marks against the darker "natural" grey of the screen. In this case they look like a well used laptop on which the keys have rubbed on the screen when folded closed.

I image that the screen is Rogered, but in the slim chance that it's worth removing and reseating anything, I ask here for advice before getting a repacement screen quote.
