Dan, Why do you say it might need a logic board too? *How can one tell if it's just the display or logic board issues too?* Here's a picture of the display issue. https://www.dropbox.com/s/23e5y4ijz440cu...-12-26%20at%2012.41.40%20PM.jpg?dl=0 There are several small cracks in the lower left corner of the screen but the display issues are not right where those cracks are. GREAT help from you! Sorry your arthritis prevents you from fiddling. Thanks all around!
During reassembly remember that the screen goes AWAY from you (as in the picture during removal). My cable was taped to the front of the display and had to be untaped and draped backwards over the bottom edge to get into proper position for attachment. Also, just in case this happens to you, too, the longitudinal rod that carries the springs and hinges was about 0.5mm too long to fit into the recesses. I had to file the rod down very slightly to get it to fit.
YES, on reassembly it is possible to turn rotate the cover springs so that the ribbon is toward you. That’s wrong! It should lie down flat in the well of the laptop body. Be sure the ribbon is going DOWN and not draped up.
These are mirror images of each other! Beware! In the photo you’ll see that in reassembly the “extra” metal bit goes toward the front. If you look at the underside of them you’ll see two foam bits: one square one to go over the flat metal part, the rectangle over the cable. With the extra metal bit toward the front (away from you) be sure you have the correct cover on the correct side!
Same problem with the tape coming loose and the cable not coming out. Go further back along the cable and pull gently on the cable with your fingers and the connector will come out easily.
I agree with the last comment. But I would prefer loosening the center battery and lifting it up to guide the trackpad cable easily. This also makes it easier to reinsert it into the connector during reassembly.

My machine has the silver screw where the red circle/6.8mm is in this diagram. I switched them to match this picture.

Please put an arrow on the picture of the bottom to show where the clips are. NOT clear. The black gizmos in the middle??

NOT necessary to remove this speaker.
NOT truly necessary to remove either speaker.
