Roland MC505 - LCD PWB delaminated. Need Help

Hello I have a rather annoying problem and I'm stuck between trying to fix it or just buy a new one. I hae a ROland MC-505 Synthesizer and the

2 line LCD screen slowly started to get more and more dead pixels until just recently where it has been completely illegible. I took the case apart and removed the LCD unit from the case. with the case still apart, I hooked up the LCD and tried to see what part of it had failed. On closer inspection, the pwb connecting the pcb to the lcd screen had delaminated from the main PCB. What type of adhesive is used to connect these ribbon cables? I'm guessing it delaminated because the backlight leds on the parts wide of the pcb produce a good amount of heat ad sit right over the ribbon cable connection. Is this something I can repair easily or should I shell out the $50 for a replacement display?

If you can find out wich controller this LCD has, maybe you can replace the whole part. It can be a standard HDxxxxx display wich is very easy to get hold of.
