Hello all, this thread obviously hasn’t been updated in awhile but I wanted to shed some light. I pulled the trigger on a few replacement screens, similar to the one mentioned above; just from a different seller with some better reviews.
I am happy to report that the screen replacement went flawlessly, and has brought back life to these remotes.
The tear down process was a little daunting, just because my fear of breaking the case! Once the shell is off, it’s pretty self explanatory; remove the ribbon cable, remove the screen via clips. The screen is housed in a plastic frame and is glued into place. It was possible to remove it with just force, but a heat gun may have been easier. From there, the new screen went back in, ribbon cable follows, and finally snap the casing back on.
The screens from the original seller I bought from are unavailable now, but here is the same item from a different seller.
I have attached some before and after photos.
 
Happy tinkering!
