Blue backlight is dead on FS-4

The blue backlight on my FS-4 no longer works.

FireStore charges $245 to fix this - they charge $245 to fix anything, so there is no way to determine if this is a major repair issue or a minor one.

It is an annoyance to not be able to read the display in dark situations, but I can put up with it.

Has anyone fixed it or heard of anyone fixing it without having to send it in?

I have a DRHD100 with a cracked LCD. Works fine otherwise. It was the unfortunate victim of a backwards camera move. It's out of warranty.

I have taken it apart and the LCD panel comes out easily, but I have no idea where to get a new one. Any ideas for finding these parts? I would assume it's not a $250 part.
