Do you really want to keep using something that obsolete, when for just a few bucks more you can buy a state of the art replacement?

Didn't want to replace it , Wanted to fix it!
Let's assume you've correctly diagnosed the problem and that it isn't a driver transistor issue or a firmware glitch. In that case just buy the one listed on eBay for $10, take the display out and replace yours. That will be cheaper than buying a new display (if you could find one, which I doubt).
Digi-Key will have something to replace it. Radio Shack catalog # 276-075 may work also ($1.79)
Thanks Michael............
