I'm not sure if it's the LCD itself or something else that's failing.  I had turned my synthesizer on once and the LCD wasn't showing anything, but a couple weeks later I turned it on and the LCD was working fine.  That made me wonder if there may be an intermittent connection failure or something, rather than the LCD itself failing.  But then, I suppose the connection failure could be in the LCD and replacing the LCD could fix it.

Even if there are a bunch of those LCDs stored in a warehouse somewhere, they seem hard to find online to buy..
