PowerBook 2400c unstable display

I got two 2400c from Yahoo Auction last year - one dead and one working.

Sadly, working one got early stage of vinegar syndrome, so I've swapped display from dead 2400c which hasn't suffering syndrome.

But after I swapped display, backlit comes on but no pictures on the screen.
At first, I thought display is dead, but when I press left side of display hard enough, display comes on.

So I disassebmled display housing and found if I press display connector hard, picture comes on.
It looks like display connector on LCD site have some physical connection issues, but I cannot make it stable.
I've put cardboard to push connectors, but it still unstable when I touch screen.

Does anyone have this problem and knows best way to fix this?
