GT sadness

So, a long time ago, I picked up a cheap "slightly nonworking" GT in a bulk 
lot.  I hadn't looked at it until tonight.  I have pretty good repair 
skills... but I powered this up and immediately, the LCD screen is cracked. 
You can see glass shards in there.  What you can also hear is game music, 
though... and the controls respond.  So I'm wondering if maybe this isn't a 
total loss and I could use it as a tiny PCE.  Has anyone here done anything 
with a working GT or TE that had a dead screen?
