Default secs monitor

i've just bagged myself a cheap secs monitor with a faulty display. it looks like it comes with the wiring harness witha white plug on the end. is there anything else i will need to fit it and does anyone have instructions???
if the screen is fudged where do i get areplacement and how dificult would it be to swap? i know it broken but it was very cheap so its got to be worth a gamble
