Quoted from dung:I think we can close this one down now. Steve offered to refund me 100 and told me to keep the spare display. I think I will end up looking into how much vishay would charge to repair it or possibly shelve it for parts if what steve sends won't cover the repair + shipping.
Glad it all worked out. I would suggest changing the title to compromise reached or seller made good if you think he did right by you.
