Psone Lcd showing in black and white

[Lairy Fiquid]

Not an original mod i know, but my friend offered one to me that he was chucking out as he knows i've got into modding a bit.
I've read a couple of guides on how to set them up for computer and decided i just wanted to use the s-video connection into the s video out of the graphics card.
However i can only get a picture in black and white. After reading this (http://www.computerstuffs.co.uk/pcmodding/electronics/psone_lcd.html) guide it says the PAL Lcd's (which mine is) need a backlight modification which requires soldering onto the PCB

Is there anyway i can avoid doing this and if so how would i go about it? If i'm stuck with the black and white i think i'll just do the VGA mod.
Thanks in advance
