No, its not quite that simple for the average person to do!!
You need to carefully disassemble the camera, dont break any of the ribbon cable tabs. Dont worry too much about the flash capacitor, just dont touch its connectors; its a good little zap but it wont kill you.
Peel apart the cables for the LCD and the backlight. Line up the new LCD cable, tape them together if you cant solder. Then start putting the camera back together and place a small piece of folded over paper under the white plastic piece the flash and the lens sit on. This will hold the two ribbon cables together.
Line up the mode selector switch with the case as you put it all back together. Now try the camera; if the backlight doesnt work, you need something slightly thicker under the flash to hold the cables tightly.
