So my final step was to install a BNC antenna on top, and wire a USB SDR module. When trying to remove LCD to place the top of case, I cracked the screen :(

So, $90 wasted, but I was able to find a used one ( Same model ) for about $60. 

Everyone in hackaday knows that Oh crap!!! moment, when you realize... Only if I was not impatient. But then I think again, is being impatient part of the hunger to do something, build something, make it happen. I dont know the answer, but I know I have broken many screens, cracked PCB's and ripped those ribbon cables. I guess you have too :)
