Sorry, can't help with the antenna issue - do you have any links for screen replacement instructions ...

Am living with the screen as-is at the moment, the left button no longer works because of the crack but I can live without it for now...

No worries, it's not too hard to do. Once the motherboard is out it's just a matter of removing the screen assembly, and as this is already damaged it doesn't matter if cracks!!
